Now that IS interesting, as I have a nice set of silver controltech Bars for this (around 140g), and I like the idea of matching kit.
I thought I'd read that these stems were also around 180g? :roll:
Right... searching for a new stem...

Few other bits:
Air Bs:
Ritchey WCS grips, which came in a little heavier than I was expecting!
With Plugs:
Been having a think, and I'm going on the look out for some more period correct rims. So, Anyone have suggestions for lightweight early/mid 90s rims? I've some silver 231s that i could use, but I'm thinking 230s, or Ateks?

I wasn't aware of anything lighter in the Mid 90s? Any suggestions? I'm aware of modern light tubes, but want to stay period.

Package arrived today
The MRC D cells off Kingaroons 'Billy.
Loverly :twisted:
I'll just wait for someone to tell me that there are lighter brakes available
One opinion I would like to hear though - The trek came with a linkage arrangement for the cantis at the rear. Do I use this, of try to fit some kind of 'normal' canti hanger?

Cool build, when I think of OCLV hardtails I think of them in this ruby Red colour. I think I recall MBi mag testing a 9800, in 94 perhaps?

Thanks Buddy. Kind words.
A little update:
I said earlier that the brakes should come in under 350g.
Pleased with this too:
I found a nice Hope Ti BB, but the axle is too narrow, so I'm on the lookout for a 127/73 BB .
And these, uncut 58cm:
Might be a while before any more updates though, lots on at work, so no time to fettle.
