The stronglight BB went in perfectly and chainline with the M900 cranks is perfect - installed M900 cassette and Cranks.
The yellow-ish Ritchey grips aren’t nice at all - so looking for some white ones - I won’t be using the bar ends on this.

also needing the M901 front mech. Will update with white saddle pics.

Engage Bike snob mode... Please tell me you are going to fit something a bit classier than that Trans X seat clamp ? Also I know I said colour code but colour coded grease is taking it a bit far...

Hahahahah!!! Made me die
Yes, I was wondering when someone would notice the Trans X ! That was on it when I bought it and haven’t had the chance to bin it or Chuck it in mount doom.
And my eye keeps going to the grease! Got to wipe that off !!

hehe!

ah but you missed the tyre !! The rear smoke by the valve !!

I saw it but thought the tyre was just flat, you need to push the valve in to seat the tyre properly, naughty Baggins...

Update
What a difference the white Flite Ti makes!
Also I’ve installed a pair of Ritchey WCS grips I had in black. The Ritchey Logic canti’s are on (need installing properly yet which I’ll do later ) Ritchey Logic levers and Shimano XT M008 shifters - plus the M900 cassette.

Choice is between blue or black brake pads (Ritchey ones)
And whether to install White Oury or other grips - I think white would work

Cables are Transfil black - but thinking of just installing a Yellow one on the rear mech.

what you think?
