...so I got bored and stressed at home with the family over the weekend and did the most comforting thing and started a project build. This’ll probably be up for sale in approx 2 months when it’s hung in the shed unused but the ritchey Ti breakaway is funding this....
After chatting to @yetidamo about his old MS I was filled with lots of excitement and hope.
A great deal on Triton Cycles for frameset and I was away. Things got moving quickly and after raiding ebay and marketplace, I’ve secured the start of the build. There’s an orange and purple theme going on with the help of Hope kit.
So far the build list comprises of:
Surly Midnight Special 56cm - Hot Mayo.
Full R8020 Ultegra Groupset 52 39 / cass 11 30
Hope bottom Bracket
Hope Headset
Fabric Scoop Saddle
Aforce al33 on hope rs4 with gravel kings.(already had these)
Easton seatpost
Needed:
Stem and Handlebars
12 mm Thru axle conversion kit for hubs
Options:
Swap out the ultegra calipers for Hope Rs4 flat mounts?
Swap out the Ultegra cranks for Hope RX Cranks and go down the 1x route? This would mean a new BB and more ££££
Here’s a snap of the purple Hope goodness that arrived today.
