This arrived between Christmas and New Year
RC35 Forks are in need of new elastomers/rocker and a longer steerer
Ringle Zooka Stem was a bugger to get out - but out it did come
M737 Headset is usable.
But none of it's going to be used on the build.
Am following the 97 spec build sheet from parkpre.com (another shameless plug) with some period "upgrades" but nothing too poncey as that's not my style.
