Loving the polished XTR cranks!

Thanks. Captaincowley did those for me. Now sorely missed.

They do match the QR skewers though.

Perhaps a touch of luxury that is probably completely unnecessary; however a touch that I was unable to resist.

Titanium SRP V brake bolts. Saved all of 6g with them.

Love the little details though.

Oooof! I missed this one. A truly inspirational build here bud.

Thanks mate. I’m toying with putting bar ends on it but don’t really want to lose the handlebar width.

Latest mod. 1997 Ringle stem

Etched logos.

New titanium bolts

Very happy.

Latest change / mod to the bike;

Managed to get some Titanium Onza bar ends. Think the orange lettering will pick up the colour theme lovely.

Also managed to get some repro Onza plugs from Classic-Repro.com for the handlebar. Couldn’t find the egg shaped ones nor do I like the shape.

Going to change the grips as couldn’t bring myself to cut the ends off my Kona ones. Going to go with modern silicone for comfort.

Standby for new pics once fitted.

Not the sexiest of pictures but still sexy as ****…. Well chuffed.

Will take some better pics.

Decided to change out the stem for a matching black with repro orange decals to tie it all in.

Thinking it looks sweeeeet !!!
