Just a couple more bits to go 
Yeah. Go buy some wheels from my 'for sale' thread, then I can go buy a set of forks!
Think I'm sticking to the Mavics too, I just don't like the sound of Superstar. I have just seen a set of Pro Lite Allein wheels for sale for around £135 but I'm not sure on the durability of the hubs.

Hi James, I have no idea at present, but I'm not that worried. Aside from the frustration of not having anything to ride at present, I've still only got the brakes for it so far.
I believe there is only one colour available which is listed as 'Raw Aluminium', however in real life that's not quite the polished silver I thought it would be, but a slightly duller colour which is not the most attractive finish I've seen. But beggars can't be choosers.

I recon you'll have your frame before I'll have mine at this rate...and mine's only sitting in Carlisle! Damn Parcel Force!

I've just ordered the 120mm 2009 model, but as this years Trek EX 9 has a 1 1/8 & 1 1/2 (1.5) head tube, I'm now worried that I need a tapered 1 1/8 steerer, although I was advised yesterday that I wouldn't. Looking at headsets on CRC today it's obvious that the 1.5 section is wider! I'm worried.
