looking good and forward to hearing how it handles which I think you already know. Great build.

Re:

got the cabling supplies i needed so started putting it all together. xtr grey outer, silver/white ferrule cap ends, translucent white cable liner for the top tube run, and a NOS silver avid rollamajig.

everything went smoothly until i got to the Joe's brakes. they proved to be a PITA to align the pads properly. spent the entire morning and i only managed to get the fronts working the way they should. but now i've read on Bikepro that i have the mixed profile front/rear arms reversed. :facepalm: reinforces my dislike for canti brakes as a whole. :twisted:

Re:

Nice! IMO the blue levers stand out quite a bit. If you had gun metal / Ti coloured levers that really seal the deal

how i see it, it's like wearing a very conservative suit and finishing the outfit with a nice colourful tie!

it's hard enough trying to find these levers, let alone a specific colour.

Couldn't agree more. Like the levers. I think grey levers would make the bike too dull. Good job!

Damn my indecisiveness!!! :twisted:

Okay scored myself a set of NOS Mavic 230 TIB 32H rims. I'll be rebuilding the NukeProof ti hubs with these, no more excuses!
