Ooops you're probably right, I don't know what type the steerer is, I thought you could thread into any steerer, the tube walls look about as thick as the ones in an older marzocchi XCR, and that's threaded. (BTW that fork directly withstood a frontal crash that severely bent the frame!)

Well, I don't think so, according to http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index ... 04016.html, it'34 mm, so shorter but not short enough. Also the one on ebay is 0 degree, and I needed some rise. I think I'll just saw off my extender thingy, I bought it and also bought a stem and all. But thanks...

ah, sorry, you're right, around 27 mm, right? Would be cool if you could measure it exactly then, as I have around 2 mm left from the race crown that hasn't quite settled yet, which, by the way, a little off-topic, is something I read in the Sheldon Brown site that is more or less OK, that it...

Thanks, It's pretty enough, but what's the minimum tube height for that "collet clamp system"??? Maybe I ask the seller.

Indeed. Would work, even with the ritchey headset, but out of the question, I just want to build this thing and ride it! (and not die of steerer tube impalement)

I think the tube is just long enough to fit a threaded headset. And one of those stems which I creatively called a "retro stem", the ones that go into the steerer tube. It's just not long enough to accomodate the full 40mm of the stem clamp.

I'm not sure this is 15mm shorter then current Ritchey Logic Headset I have, but thanks! João

Thanks We_are_Stevo for the tips, didnt think about the bolt length issue! thomas regarding the aheadset, there isn't an (affordable) one with a much smaller stack height. the expander does cater for aheadsets and has a kind of double bolt that I hope ensures correct pressure, at least...

I suspect this is a recurring topic here. The steerer tube on my Manitou 99 Carbon SX forks is 15mm too short for the 40mm-stack stem I have. So I bought one of these: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/bbb-bhp-2021-stem-extender/ The thing is, the inner part of the tube is carbon-reinforced to about...

Hi, also interested in the cranks if you can provide better pics and indicate the crank size.

Hi, I'm interested in the whole chainset (rings, cranks, cassete and chain) if you decide to split. Thanks, João

PM sent for the ritchey logic chainset.

Hi. Interested in the crankset if you can provide a pic of the underside of the rings! Thanks, João

pm sent on sti levers/shifters

2nd dibs on the race face rings and bolts, sent PM. Thanks, João

Bought a RS Judy XC and Titanium handlerbars. Posted overseas, took a long time, almost got lost, but not seller's fault, who was very helpful in contacting the post service. Decent packaging, nice condition. Thanks!

Bought a pair of Avid Arch Rival vbrakes. Posted overseas, very nicely packaged, as described.

Something like the shimano UN52? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=78147, it's on sale... weighs a bit but looks reliable...

OK, it's non-threaded, so I will go with the aheadset. Not necessarily looking for something period specific, just something relatively cheap but reliable. I'll also take your advice and build something rideable, then adjust the cosmetics. One last question: how important is the quality of...
