Removed the awful stem, it’s the equivalent of a modified Japanese car’s exhaust!
Switches the chainset, front mech and shifters to XT M750. Rear mech is a M952 I ruined by putting it in degreaser for too long and it stripped the colour.
Stem is a Controltech and I really like the rise as it replicates the rise on the Tomac bike. Bars are Titec titanium but I think I need to swap them out for black bars. Easton seatpost that matches the colour of the frame but will need to be all black. Did try a Raceface crank on it but didn’t like it for some reason.
Weights gone from near 25lb to nearer 22.8lb .
