Lookin good! What stem are you using? Is it 1" or 1-1/8" ?

We are currently using the 1" Salsa stem you see on the bike now but the long term plan is to track down a 1" Syncros cattleprod. They are really hard to find in the shorter sizes and the last one we bid on went for $250 +.

You probably emailed me about mind on eBay in january... I still have it but using it at the moment

What about a 1" with no noodle? I have a couple of them...

I think we did email about them and I may have lost out on the one or two you had for auction. Noodle in a perfect world but once again beggars can't be choosers. We can set it up sans noodle too! PM with the details (length and what you are looking to sell them for).

Will do

After playing with the Graftons, we have chosen to go with tried and true route of Shimano XTR M900's. Why change it if it isn't broken!

 

[Ductape]

After working on them for my sons bike, to me Graftons are a sign of patience. Hard to go wrong with M900 anything if the era is correct.

Wrapped up the first round of the build this weekend. Able to swap out the current Salsa stem with one that has a roller on it for proper front brake routing.

New chainrings for the Syncros Revolution crankset as well as the proper crank-o-matic titanium bolts

Added the Ringle Holey Seatpost cam to match the skewers.

Also went with the yellow turbo saddle to match the downtube decal as well as the mavic rim decals.

Threw on this set of PORCs with the darker sidewalls. They are NOS however they have had a rough shelf life as you can see from the side walls.

Might as well sacrifice these for riders as long as they hold up.

Here is how she currently sits:

that looks sweet. however maybe just me, but that saddle sticks out like a soar thumb compared to the rest of the bike.
