Plan C 
Not managed to find a King GripNut in Silver
Nor a decent quality XT in silver
So figured I’d learn a lesson from my FRO build and try a Mavic headset.
Kinda like it. I never used these headsets back in the day but you can get away with a short steerer and I think they look pretty sweet.
Still struggling to find a silver quill 1 1/4 stem tho. How hard should that be?! Preferably an ATAC if anyone has one?

I finally sourced a silver ATAC stem but it’s 150mm and zero rise so a little bit too long, and if I’m honest, also looks shit 
So I’m gonna go a bit off the wall with Plan B.
The ti flexstem was the only ever version that actually made sense. With the compliance from the bars they actually rode pretty well as well. But by that point we were all into front fork suspension so the ti version was a pretty rare sight BITD.
Managed to source a NOS one so fingers crossed it looks right on the Funk
Quick question - in the original ad the ti stem had a logo. But I’ve never actually seen one in the flesh with a logo.
I can get Gil to make one - but do I need to?

Image sizes updated. Paint job and that fork 
look even better BIG!
That question again - in the original GIRVIN ad the ti stem had a logo. But I’ve never actually seen one in the flesh with a logo?
Anyone seen one/got one with the logo?
