Chances are a decent aluminium one will be far lighter then!

And as a stem?

I saw the syncros on another MT here on this thread. I wonder if it's actually lighter and 'better' than the ritchey already on? The stem and bar on the bike are a bit scuffed up as is the mavic headset
I'd rather buy from HERE though, eBay is a bit hit n miss anyway.
So to recap, I'm primarily on the look out for seatpost and saddle, stem and bar, followed by any other bits and bobs (eg as you said I can get myself the XTR shifters and use them with the cassette ((or change the cassette to an 8 speed one)) - to shave of weight, and for the bike to look wicked
