Todays update - March 1st...
Cabled the LX out today and took it out for a shake-down ride, boy it flies! Performance certainly belies it's porky cro-moly construction...
Not much left to do to complete now, though I do have a NOS 1 1/4" XT headset on the way. Other than that I'm fitting Crank Bros pedals (
cos I don't like SPDs...), and stainless steel chain-rings as this is the bike I shall be riding at the Mountain Mayhem in June.
Just need to raise the saddle about another 1/2" and I'm
sure the stem isn't quite straight so out with the allen keys before I take it out again on Thursday (
10 mile loop every other day...).
So, this is the current state of play...
Pic bit dark as I hadn't noticed the time and I needed to use the flash!
With the 150mm stem the steering could best be described as
'direct!' But that's how I like it...
More (
and better) photo's to follow when 100% finished...
