@Schnitter
wheelset arrived today, so I had to take a shot with them:
(ignore stem and bars)
Fork got mounts for disc and dynamo cables since the last time.
Already have BB7 SL, Force Shifters, Sram X0 derailleur and cassette ready.
Brooks B17 Titanium, tyres and stem are in the mail.
Now only looking for a some cheap 3T Ergosums (don't really want to use the carbon version I have) and a crankset.
I actually was looking at the White Industries VBC, but they are so expensive and I'd also need a good square tapered BB with that.
Probably getting a cheap Sram Rival crankset, as I think 50-34 will still be feasible for 99% of the hills.
Thinking about getting some Tune Skyline ZFS skewers.
Super light and also theft-proof. If they are available for mtb's a bit touring shouldn't hurt them.
Going to build the bike up before doing the paintjob though. Maybe I'll add bosses for a Nitto M1 rack or something similar - or just go with a bar bag instead.
