• does the stack include external headset cups? If not increase the stack, put more of a gap between this and your race/roadie bike. Maybe reduce reach and have a longer stem? Are you going to put cable guide for FD? Rear brake cable internal or external? I'd keep it simple and external. Are you getting TRP brakes? Have you decided on wheels/tyres and mudguards? If I was you I'd send the calipers and wheelset with tyres and mudguards to Jacek and ask to max out the brake clearance. Maybe a third bottle cage and a pump peg? Optimise the front triangle space with whatever bidon sizes you prefer so you have room for a frame bag.

  • I will get a cable guide for FD, just in case. But no braze on. Also will take the above suggestion and get brazes for racks too. Can't hurt. All external.
    Just going for the relevant SRAM ones for now. Not Canti.
    No decisions made on wheels/tyres or guards. Plan to run it with 28s and leave the guards on most of the time. Wondering if I should spec a dynamo front hub etc. but not thought about spoke counts or rims yet.

    Also think I need to check both the race bike and what Jacek will use for stack relevant to the frame or the headset. I think in both cases its the former.
