Before you go changing things AGAIN, try rubbing the braking surface of the brake block with some medium sandpaper this removes the shiny surface and helps them grip.

Thanks for that advice - worked wonders and now stops like an Italian tank

And lastly - a couple of iPhone snaps

Very pretty with the low autumnal sun glinting off the shiny bits, glad it stops now too...

Thanks mate - the light was very nice!

VERY nice rig : well done!

Curious to see how the additional yellow bits work out; have you considered installing a bottle cage and use that for a nice blue or yellow bottle?

Only thing I am unsure of, are the colored spoke nippels, but hey: if you ride fast enough, no one notices

Enjoy the bike and ride!

Thanks man
No, no more yellow bits and I don’t think I’ll bother with a bottle cage for now
I too am unhappy with the purple nipples on the wheels - but unfortunately for some strange reason the few M900 hubbed wheels I’ve seen all have this - it seems to be some new ‘distinguishing mark’ for M900 !

This looks really nice all finished up mate.

Congrats!

Really enjoyed the more regular type of photos too. Bike really speaks for itself!

It's looking absolutely brilliant. All the thought that went into making the choices for components has definitely paid off.

Thanks man - and thanks for your help and encouragement
Let’s see how it fares in BoTm - and the lack of love for Italian MTB’s!
