Back again.

Found out the wheels had been laced wrongly!

I forgot these bikes existed, and I'm fond of FSR-style frames. Very cool build!

Back to the first plan of 9.0sl, although X9 front mech not 9.0. Ritchey wcs saddle, as a friend pointed out the white looked like sh*t.... I didn't agree, but changed it anyway.
I'm just a people pleaser in a miserable grumpy arse mans body.

It's a shame you're not using this X0 in the end, although I admit the white 9.0 is spectacular and looks fantastic on this bike.
I want to build a bike with that model, but in white, and it's proving extremely difficult to find a working unit of that generation.
For now, my next bike will have a thermoplastic Sachs Quarz (I just finished a Sintesi with the aluminum Quarz, my second Quarz, so I wanted the third to be its evolved version), so I still have time to find a Grip Shift 9.0 like yours.

Beautiful project, beautiful bike.

Things are happening once .ore in the shed.
Didn't like the bars, so went with straight ones, and also a silver post with black stem and bars is just a big no.

Absolutely agree. It's like a belt and shoes; they have to be the same color. Good taste is essential.
