Picked up this in track form.

Going to attempt a mild hhsb if my budget allows it. The plan is :
- Big cog on the rear
- Shiny chain
- in line post maybe Thomson
- risers
- vans cult grips I have in garage.
- keep current pro stem or maybe new Thomson.
- stick with dura ace/fsa combo
Need advice on :
- black saddle suggestions
- pedal type
- silly wheels (future plans)
- tyres. Would love to chuck on some gum walls but doubt I'll be able to afford any with the rest so will probably just stick some gator skins on it for skidz.
Oh. And I'll be running a brake due to the many hills in my local area. Should have a Columbus tusk soon so plan is to use that for front brake set up and keep the giant fork if I ever decide to go brklzz.

Thinking of ordering some gum walls for this project. Any suggestions ? Needs to be fairly cheap and durable? Paselas maybe ?

Cockpit, fork and brake sorted. Still need tyres, pedals, online post and saddle at some point. Went for quick ride, gearing feels quite low so might chuck on a smaller sprocket.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
