Well ever since a customer brought one into the shop I have been looking for one. 2 years later I found one I can 1) afford 2) is my size.
I took of the RX 100 components it came with and those are sitting in a box - I quite like them really. Folks on LFGSS have been quite helpful with part but the first mavic mech from a user actually failed. good thing it was cheap. Another on its way though. I intend this to be a french build eventually with the exception of the spokes which will be from Belgium and quite possibly the tyres.
Currently it has a mavic rear mech and headset. A new front mech will be fitted. Over time I will try to replace all the other parts with French one's. Rode it today and it was lovely.
Currently it has a middleburn chainset, SKF BB, 3ttt podium bars, Cinelli A1 stem, modolo brake levers (who made them for mavic), simplex friction shifters (again the mavic are rebranded version I think), Mavic 440 SSC brakes, transfil cables/casing (thats french at least), unknown seat post (I want a corima elipse post) and some orbea saddle. Wheels are archetype on chorus hubs.
Coming is a mavic starfish chainset and BB. I have some 32H GP4 rim but finding hubs that have a rear old of 130mm is proving hard. Happy with it though as it is. It rides really well.
