Cheers! I've got a spare inline barrel adjuster somewhere - good point about that though.
I've got a 130mm Deda Zero 2 stem that was a little stretched out for me, but could work for him, think that's 37 or 38mm stack. Yeah if it's too high, could just go proper pro and run the stem straight on top of the bearings :)
He's got Giro SPD shoes already, which'll do for now. I've got some old SPD pedals around somewhere, so that should get him up and running. I think his feet are gonna be too big for the selection that DMT have got, but not quite big enough to use any of the shoes I've got lying around.
This thread's also making me realise I need to do a huge clearout of bike stuff soon...
In other news, I've ordered the 5800 groupset from Merlin, as they let me specify type of BB (always handy to have a spare).
Edit: Oh and I'm thinking these wheels might be a good choice.
As he's around 80ish kilos, I'm tempted to suggest he/I asks CN*carbon for custom drilling, 24h 2 cross front or something, rather than the 20h radial front wheel.
