1994 Brodie Sovereign - DeKerf Paintjob

I have a new seatpost inbound significantly nicer and longer than the previous. I wont reveal it just yet but let's say it's very much on brand with the build.

What are everyone's thoughts on the silver xtr crankset with the black seatpost forks and stem and handlebar? Clashing ?

I have a black snd gunmetal grey race face set ?

Couple more shots from today

You could always put black rings on the cranks.

Great idea! I actually have a full set of blackspire 8 speed rings laying around ...

Looks really good hows the ride/sizing working out for you?

yes looks quite silver at the back and black at front its a fade job hah

Fit is actually pretty good. Not perfect but I think it can be correct. I would like the handlebars to be a little bit higher. So either my stem or forks. Length is no issue.

Just swapped in the Chris king headset from my King Kahuna. The tired old aheadset on there had some indexing.

One of the fit issues on the bike is I would like the handle bars up a little as eith the smaller frame I feel I am reaching down. When I had the fork out I measured the AC length and its 395...15mm short of what the bike is designed for. So that should get me up more than half of what I figure I need. A slightly longer stem and we are set.

A few fairly major changes. The new seatpost is in and so are the new forks.

Kona triple butted P2. Threaded. There is a 96 velocity stem on there for now but likely will find something black eventually.

I also came across a black set of threadless TB P2 forks so I have the option to go that way too. Thiygh they have a kona logo on it.

I also fitted a set of gunmetal race face cranks.
