Will be finding a few blue bits to match this beauty. Will keep it subtle though, i think. Skewers, seat clamp a few bolts, perhaps a brake booster....

I have the same spider in green. Real nice stuff!

Few more bits, purchased, build starting soon:

Shifters: Gripshift Xray, Odi Assault grips (clear)
Saddle: Flite Titanium Alpes
Bar End: Onza Stogies, Silver

Re:

Postage delays slowing me down with this.

Brakes finally made it through this week, so cockpit is set up. Waiting for blingy skewers and brake ferrules now to finish this one off....

Stem options...
For me I’d go with the syncros stem although the tune is a lovely bit of machining I think maybe too much blue for me anyway but which ever you choose will look superb.

:cool: very nice

What trouble is it your having with the front mech? and hopefully you will commit and cut the excess cable off :)

Yes, will snip the cable off shortly.... I’m struggling to push the derailleur out to the outer ring. I had it sorted, then fiddled too much. Think it’s the cable tension I can’t quite get right, will have another go today before heading to the bike shop.... also, may need a slightly shorter BB spindle as the chain line isn’t ideal, but think I can just about get away with it....
