Polished the frame and forks, cut the steerer and tightened up the BB this morning.
Also removed the chunky steel EBB bolts and swapped them out for some nice ti bolts instead.
After cutting the steerer, I hunted through the spares box and found a nice carbon top cap to tie in with the carbon shims on the bars and the Hope seatpost.

That looks a very low gearing. But not low enough for the alpine heights of Denmark I'm afraid.As Seen Canary would say…. “thatsh shexshy!”

Danish mountain, yet to be conquered.
Good luck I say. I think you best start out in the moderately flat highlands of Scotland before you take on the wuthering peaks of Denmark
I like spinny setups myself. I don't need it for Denmark obviously, and I ride much taller ss gearing nowadays, but as I'm not concerned about the time it takes to get somewhere, I'm not at all against a low spinning gear. Happy sacrificing any cadence building on the flats to feel comfortable on a hill. I imagine you probably spend most of your time on hilly up and down sections compared to my endless flat countryroads and fireroadsIt’s 32-22, (I’m old, 56 yesterday) and don’t care if it spins out easily, I want to be able to tackle things like that, I know it’ll take a while to build up to it, but now I have a goal!
