Don't know either... there's not much intelligence to insult with me.

:? :? Now I'm even more confused!

Swapped forks yet? If not, don't!
 
Re:

Here it is with the forks,



So, having lacquered over the decals and oiled the inside of the frame, it's time to start putting this bike together.
I splashed out on an NOS XT headset, so fitted that



Along with the Ritchey Cliff Hanger canti guide, lucky eBay find but without a cable stop or thread. So, during a rummage through the small parts box, I found something suitable.



Nice snug fit too. Excellent!

Next will be the bottom bracket, but I need to do musical chainsets and the bb shuffle for that, so will get the one I need in the week. :roll:

For anyone interested, the frame weighed 1870g with the headset cups in ( forgot to weigh it before :facepalm: ) and the forks with crown race comes out at 775g

Just under 6lb for the frameset is pretty impressive and that XT headset looks immaculate :cool: so what's the chainset going to be this time unless the headset is a clue ;) ..

Re:

That's going to look ace and ride even acer.

Go easy on the Shimano though, nobody wants that stuff all over the place.
