I’m still waiting for tan grips being Brooke’s pump girips & Onza Porcipaw Grips…

 

[Retrobike93]

Got the Brookes in the post & onza porc grips (NOS off Rambo Mambo) as you can see I’ve gone with Onza due to weight.

I’ve ended up purchasing these so I’m going to lace them on a set of Mavic 517 rims, swapping out the Mavic 117 ceramic on Xtr m900 hubs.

Unsure on black Onza or silver Chris king grip nut for the headset….still waiting on white Syncros decals for the seat post, then I can complete the build.
For the Litespeed stem I would like more rise, any ti 1” stems out there give me a shout….

Fitting next week while the Mavic are being built with ti TNT hubs.
