What is the best way to store retro-parts :?: Build a new bike

I bought entry-level ti frame from Litespeed - Obed from 1996. 1500 grams 3Al - 2.5V aerospace titanium.



And try to build it w. few parts from my home-stock...

Specialized FSX vs. Rock Shox Mag21 vs. Manitou EFC

Shimano M950 w. Mavic X517 vs. Spinergy Rev-X (M950 vs. M737 cassette)

Shimano vs. rest of the world

And other choices to make.





What are your ideas for complete set :?:

Let the frame do the talking and keep it simple.

The final effect of several hours of "intensive" work

And components, which I decided to use. I'm not satisfied with stem - need to find black Controltech or nice Ti stem/seatpost combo.

Agree. The frame is the main interest. Love that brand of Ti
