Don't know if you have one already?

Iāve been looking to get one for the set!
I have the NTH Celeste grips now but will keep them as part of the set (I prefer the black Ritchey WCS grips)
Some changes
Having bought another Bianchi racing MTB (alloy Asset 3500) and having set that up, I decided to change the stem over - this had a black 90mm FRM and I bought a 115mm silver which is another very rare one. (120mm+ black FRM are readily available).
I think this one makes the lines more appealing and graceful and doesnāt change the rising comfort and position much at all.
thoughts?

Bit of a makeover
Thanks to @KermitGKona88 ans @RetroRider_IT itās gone over to the dark side - M95x rear mech M950 front and black FRM skewers - with the pink going onto the other.
Iām thinking of going all out and replacing the Avid black ops with black FRM DP4 V brakes. As a straight swap butā¦ the Avid are soo nice

Weight weenie upgrades
Sold the M95x derailleurs and selling the shifters
Swapped the Avid Ultimate Black Ops for a set of black/graphite FRM DP4 V brakes and levers. These are works of art!
And a blue Specialites TA Khoeps cassette which weighs next to nothing!
Awaiting next month for the Tiso Altore 366 derailleur and Ultegra shifters
And on the look out for a Tiso front mech - failing that Iāll be needing something in black/silver black/Gold - no idea what but likely a Road 2 speed mech to go with the shifters and double ring chainset
The last thing Iāll do with be to replace the Magura Quake - lovely as it is - for a lightweight FRM fork if ever I find one
