@platypus Thanks! Don't get me wrong, I think it looks rad too and I love it as it is, I just hate how heavy it is so I wanted to inject some money to sort that out, whilst also putting some swankier components on because as @PhilDAS rightly points out, for the most part its a bodge of cheap bits literally harvested from work's parts bin. I'd happily sell the fork back to you, has been used though so I'll knock something off/throw something in.
@PhilDAS you're the kind of voice I was hoping to hear, I had these intentions fully but was put off after going to P&L earlier.
My original plan was deore xt drivetrain, Nitto Jitensha, Ritchey WCS Ergo grips, Paul love levers, BB7'S, Carbon Fork, Thompson Stem + Seat Post, Halo Whiteline disc wheelset or run some 27.5 Halo's instead?. Not sure whether to go ahead with this now though.
If anyone could advise on whether this is pointless of perfect, that would be great!
