Just managed to find my self some nice XTR M900 skewers and seat binder skewer QR

Not sure on the XTR M900 QR but will see when it gets fully built over the next couple of weeks

Beautiful frame. I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses. I like the Shimano skewers so IMO it would be a pity to separate them but as you said - see how the build goes.

Didn't you have a red version of this frame for sale some time ago. I really would have liked that frame but sadly was short of the readies at the time. Now however....if by some slim chance..... Just a thought.....

L-O-T-U-S stands for Loads Of Trouble Usually Serious! Guess thats just the cars as that frame looks very well made.
Can't wait to see the final build. I remember going to a bike show in Birmingham in 1994 and remember seeing an XTR equiped, skinny steel framed ASTON MARTIN mountain bike, loved the understated classy look of it, your build reminded me of it, thanks.
