Dura Ace lever from Lukas is a nice bit of kit, very light with what looks like worrying potential for drillium... Fixed up the PX brake, braking power seems pretty impressive despite what I'd heard. Wheels are the next big thing. Front is in progress, rear is still a dilemma.
Build there is about 6.1kg, so 400ish g (hopefully) more than the final complete weight. Need to buy chain (YBN, 260g) and a sprocket so it's rideable to check reach.
I'd like to strip the forks as there'd be a few gs to be saved, and hopefully black forks would look better but I'm not sure it's going to be worth the hassle.
