Light is fading so pictures aren't to good but i've been working on a build plan for the other 93 Explosif and this is the parts i've decided on, sort of

I want to keep it along the lines of the other one with 8 speed, so there's some 8 speed Parallax Deore XT wheels on Ritchey rims with XT rear mech.
M735 front mech this one won't be used though. Got to have XT thumbshifters.
A Sugino Mighty 900 chainset, does anyone know what axle length for the bb it should use.
Brakes will be XT canti's, probably my favourite looking cantilevers shimano done. And XT levers, just gonna chop the shifter mounting brackets off and tidy them up. Bars and seatpost are Easton carbon for lightness and poshness lol.
At the moment not sure if i'm gonna build it as it is or respray the frame and forks and new decals
