Thank you

Choosing between Syncros and Answer for the cockpit was a long hesitation for mine. Glad we took different routes, so that everyone can see the options

Answer would have been the easier option for me, the Syncros bar, cranks and a stem with no noodle took me a long time to find in that condition! I wanted to follow the 92 advert spec as closely as possible but then bling it up just a little more

Good to have different build options out there. My 95 San Andreas is very different but this 92 is far and away my favourite bike at the moment.

May I suggest that the spacers of the front hub aren't set correctly? I think that the large sides should face the fork dropouts for increased fork/hub interface and improved handling.
