Some changes
Having bought another Bianchi racing MTB (alloy Asset 3500) and having set that up, I decided to change the stem over - this had a black 90mm FRM and I bought a 115mm silver which is another very rare one. (120mm+ black FRM are readily available).

I think this one makes the lines more appealing and graceful and doesnā€™t change the rising comfort and position much at all.

thoughts?

Weight weenie upgrades
Sold the M95x derailleurs and selling the shifters

Swapped the Avid Ultimate Black Ops for a set of black/graphite FRM DP4 V brakes and levers. These are works of art!

And a blue Specialites TA Khoeps cassette which weighs next to nothing!

Awaiting next month for the Tiso Altore 366 derailleur and Ultegra shifters

And on the look out for a Tiso front mech - failing that Iā€™ll be needing something in black/silver black/Gold - no idea what but likely a Road 2 speed mech to go with the shifters and double ring chainset

The last thing Iā€™ll do with be to replace the Magura Quake - lovely as it is - for a lightweight FRM fork if ever I find one
