About to hit LBS parts bin for some handlebars. Have also got some cable stops and a bb cable guide coming.
Tyres are the only thing left to decide on. Still mulling it over. Top contenders so far:
Randonneur II 40c @ £12 Specialized Fatboy 45c @ £30 Panaracer Pasela 35c @ £24 Schwalbe Marathon Supreme 40c @ £23
I'd say keep the Pig headset for a lesser frame and get a nice Cane Creek 40
The pig is just a stop-gap for a year or so. When I upgrade to alfine I'll also upgrade a load of other stuff, a CK headset being one of those upgrades.
