So I bought a pantographed stem... I don't really like panto'd things and its got italian colours on it which just adds to the race-war between bike and groupset. It's also not silver but I quite like it.
The bars are well scruffy and I know I'm going to regret not getting nicer ones but as I'm a little bit worried about the stem looking shit too I think I might just go ahead assume it might get redone... Tape will be black.
Saddle is from the ebay, I've never had a flite before so I am quite looking forward to seeing what my arse thinks about it.
So wheels are built and the easier of the screw on bits have been screwn on. I've got the brakes right-back/left-front which is CRAZY but otherwise the cables wouldn't work so I assume they are supposed to.
I still need a cassette. I bought one from HS but it disappeared in the post :-/ other than that and a chain I think I've got most of the rest of the stuff I need, got the Kalloy post in now but I'll get a nice DA fluted one at some point and decide on the shoes by which I mean pedals.
