The truth is, I recently anodized the Marin Monocoque, but I like that color and think it suits this frame very well. In any case, a nice Tiso headset paves the way for anodizing.
The AMP fork has been recently overhauled.
The stem is a classic Spanish EDR titanium, in the same color, and an Answer Hyperlite carbon handlebar. I actually use it on the Rocky Mountain Element SC and love it, but I also like the Easto CT2 that I use on the Gianta ATX 800. Any of them would work, but an Answer came up first, and I didn't think twice.

I think a Syncros Ti bottom bracket is a good addition.
I've replaced the badly worn decals on the stem with the more updated and distinctive yellow EDR version. Stainless steel bolts are also replacing the rusty originals.
The rear derailleur was more complicated: since I was using Tiso, I wanted to stick with that brand. I couldn't find anything other than the road version, but suddenly the MSC version, manufactured by Tiso and used by the Liberto-Megamo team, appeared.
It's very, very nice, and well worth the effort.
The seatpost has been with me for half a lifetime, about 30 years.
A beautiful Alien carbon seatpost with silver logos that will look great with the frame color. I also have a complete spare head in case it breaks or goes "cri-cri."
