So my shoulder have been 8 weeks in a sling, didn't have much to do as I couldn't any work, so I tried slowly progress on the build but kept on getting stuck.
Anyway, that's what happened:
Got my hand on badly nicked DA shifters for cheap, got them to wetsand polish.
Before and after
Mounted salsa cowchippers, short stem, wtb venture. Looks great imo. Unfortunately the brook beige tape doesnt work, needs to go black.
Other than that -- I got myself a pair of cheap novatec hubs & dt swiss rr511 rims -- going to bring them to LBS to build them up. Black spokes, stealthy looks is what I am after. Keep it budget they said. Yeah right
