Picked up an Alpina Wing seatpost and Oval Concept A900 forks for the fixed TT build.
Had to get the forks as the steerer on the Alpina ones that came with the frame had seemingly been cut with a rusty spatula by the previous owner and were so low that I can’t imagine anything other than those super low profile Basso stems fitting.
Bought the Oval forks as they were super cheap, unused and ‘aero’. Having read a bit on the science behind them since then, it all seems a bit “80% of the time they work every time” but who knows!
Also snagged a Rotor track chainset from @onyerbike which will work well. Need some big TT track chainrings though which I’ve never had need for before.
