Re: New British build - it's gonna be slow I think

I also have the choice of an X-Lite Cross Country Specific bar or an X-Lite titanium bar, but I think they're a bit too shiny when compared to the crankset and seatpost + I think I prefer the black bars 'n brakes/shifters to match the black chainstays...

Regan is spot on about the seatpost. Perfect. A red one would be too much I think. Black bars are fine, though the Ti ones might be nice. Little bit of work with a scotchbrite pad could dull them down a bit. I wouldn't go red with the red stem. Again, too much.

Looks great so far though. Gonna be a peach once it's finished.


The big question is what colour cable outers?

Sooo close now to being rideable....still waiting for grips and a Hope 7sp cassette spacer.

Finished!

Well, I'm still looking for red X-Lite or Hope QRs, but she's rideable, and that's what counts!

First ride tomorrow

Maybe I can get some better pictures outside too.

Thanks. The hanger is a Cycloc. I think I bought it from CRC or Wiggle.
