O~m~G. Have a similar Dynatech build ongoing. Mine is dubbed ‘wtf-locross’ and is a shocking waste of time and materials. Like. I’ve converted it to 700c... (how? see ‘shocking waste of time and materials’).
Very interested to see what you do with yours : )

I got my final delivery today which was one of the first items I had ordered for this build, the B903r Bullmoose! They are beautiful, slightly annoyed that the fillet weld version were not available (though I’m not sure they actually make a fillet version) but they are still the Nitto quality we all love.
Still waiting on the wheel build, had a few issues with the rim availability but was able to get the 32h cliffhanger special ordered in for the build which is good. Date for the build is now the 28th of this month so not too long to go!
Am definitely getting the build bug now seeing all the parts together, but I’m going to hold off till the wheels arrive for a big build day! Trying to coincide my build with my mate who is currently building up a lovely 2004 Kona Explosive, then we can go test on a nice long ride and do the all important tweaking!
I ended up getting some Newbaums cloth tape and not sure if I should partially wrap some parts of the Bullmoose to allow for a few more hand positions? Also considering using it or some paracord to wrap the chainstay. Though I am worried if it gets wet and takes a while to dry it could prematurely rust the chainstays?
And finally if you were not already sick of my ramblings on this build, I have gone ahead and slightly impulse bought another frame to build up in the future (not too sure on how I want to take it just yet). It’s a very nice condition Raleigh Mtrax 500 cromoly titanium combo frame. Always been interested in these so should be fun!
