some of the parts are comming togeather for the build.
M960 parts would not be of anyones taste. But I like the shine... gives it a bit m900-like (dont want to go the m900 route...).
A Protaper riser bar is being polised at the moment. Just my favorite bar... but wont go in black.
A SDG saddle. I think this could be nice for the somehow more "trail-like" look and setup
ofcause a Ritchey box... so it wont be a m960 crankset ;-)

New stuff is comming in for my build.
Two very nice titanium syncros posts. I was a little unasure of the sizing and ended up with two...
. So I may have a 27.0 for sale at some point. The 27.2 was the right one (the one with syncros prints and ti bolts)
A very nice Ritchey WCS bluewall tyre that Rojo bought for me on co.uk ebay and shipped over. Thanks a lot Rojo!
Then I got a titanium BB from Tizumo... I allready found some bearings for it and will source out some m7 bolts tonight on the workshop night...
A nice Syncros stem also came in... but not sure about that one for the build... looks good with the polished bars. But I may stich to a ritchey here... Or find a propper 1" syncros stem so I dont need the spacers
Damm! Cant waith for the rest of the parts to arrive!! :-9

what do you think you want for the 27,0 Syncros seatpost ?
Thanks... Don't really know about about sales and prize. It was quite expensive and coated a lot in bank transfer fees and shipping. But why don't you pm me about it. Thought that it may look good on my explosif too... Maybe with the silver Syncros stem too.

Well. I got some time to try some of my idear for the build. I have tried a number of different stems and seatposts. The idear was to have syncros silver alu cranks, syncros silver stem and a silver alu syncros post... But the syncros stem lookd plainly to bulky to the thin frame so I gave up on the syncros "theme". The same did the ritchey complite stem I had in 1-1/8". So I ended up another place...
This is how I ended up for now: M960 series, polished cranks (not monted yet as I have a hard tome finding a downpull e-type front mesh), polished answer protaper bars, ritchey to-cloured stem, to-cyncros post, flite ti in red/blue/white (repainted on the blue due to long time use). And I have finally got a set of bluewall wcs tyers..
