Lovely job - that Syncros chainset is perfect for this bike.

good to see you got yourself a proper amp fork for that. also like the stem change as well.

what Risse shock is that? would love to get one for my own Amplifier.

The Risse shock is an Elroy.... tuneble rebound... and air pressure of course...

I have one on mine to. A great improvement over the original spring/damper... and half the weight of the orignal (I guesstimated)

For me this is one of the most beautyful fullies I've ever seen.

I don't mind the red bar (and I also can overlook the strange stem ). All parts look great on that shiny slim frame. The only thing I would change is the seatpost, as one would expect a straight one on this bike....

congratulations to tis build.
