I agree, it was only when I put it on the bike that I realised it was too high, but I'll keep looking for other suitable stems.Looks ace.
I’d go with a slightly less upright stem though purely for aesthetic

I'll bear that one in mind, thanks!If you go polished silver I’ve got a nice Syncros up for sale
Recently acquired an different stem for my Bravado, also a new seatpost, saddle and seat clamp.Looks ace.

I'd go with the thumbies, they'd count as an upgradeStill on the look out for for other parts, but money's a bit tight atm. However I am in two minds whether I should put my XT Thumbshifters and matching brake levers, or try to locate a nice set of Shimano Deore XT MO-95 shifters/levers combo, as they were fitted originally according the catalogue specs, if I am not mistaken.
Other parts yet to find and buy are the BB, chainset, cassette, chain and cables.
For the cables I am hoping to get blue outer casing, like Jagwire, unless someone can make better recommendations.
Hope you enjoy the progress so far?
I can't wait to get this bike on the road soon!
It is going to be the cheaper option as I already have XT thumbies (freebie from my volunteer workshop, ended up in the bin and was lucky to snatch them before disappearing in the big waste bin!)I'd go with the thumbies, they'd count as an upgrade
Yeah i kept that in mind when suggested the thumbies, also i think they are superior.It is going to be the cheaper option as I already have XT thumbies (freebie from my volunteer workshop, ended up in the bin and was lucky to snatch them before disappearing in the big waste bin!)
The wheels as in the photos were also from the same workshop, I paid a tenner for the wheels! XT hubs laced to Mavic rims.
