Very very nice, but you need to cut the excess off the rear mech cable and put a crimp on..

Thank you mate! It's right about cable but I'm waiting for a new pair of STI shifter-levers, a lot of brake levers and a pair of original XT thumbs. So I'll have to decide what use and I decided to not cut it

mint!!.......like that a lot......

Very smart ! .....always fancied one of these!

Just put some mod on my cadex.
I know it's all new stuff indeed, anyway I'm trying to loose weight jus with modern components. My idea is to put new carbon on old carbon, and t put a lot of green

This looks sweet (in the old version, don't know about the new fork).
I have had a Cadex 2 (stolen) and 3 (sold), and they ride so nice, modern geo for their time and quite light and fast.
This type 1 is very hard to find (in Holland) and I only seen one in the flesh recently.

Here it is, finally with new components.

Nice job

What was the final weight of the new version of bike?

phwoar I like the final version!

I was tempted to use a cadex as a base recently but went klein instead but I have to hand it to you.. that's a pretty bike!
