Re:

haha!

yeah, I know!

gonna be interesting as I've been a die-hard 580mm bar man for ever, and bar ends too, so 730mm is gonna feel a little different! :?

That XTR looks bloody amazing...quality doesn't come cheap mind.

Re:

and today, the final part of the build arrived!!

a lovely little titanium seat post collar from Enigma Bicycle Works, tastefully modelled by my wee yellow friend!

had to throw a little ti at the frame, so the bars and the collar are it, thought about a CK Ti headset, but the black alloy one works well enough.

hopefully it will be ready for a test ride by the weekend if i get cracking on it!
