So part 1 of the build is done, bike is now rideable. The MF stem wasn't great so I swapped in a Tioga T-bone which is halfway between the MF and the 135mm stretch-stem that was the original. The solid axle for the rear is proving tricky to source, have one coming across the pond at the moment. I have an XT mech to match the rear waiting to go on. Pretty happy with the rest of it, its playful, reminds me of the Orange P7 I had in 1995.
Next stage is to make it functional and a bit more pokey . . . . .
