Parts are arriving <3
Saved some money on a bit battered Apex crankset (selling the silver 42t it came with if you want it)
Almost bought the first model of Shimano 105 hydraulic levers but an offer for the following years much better looking model came up and I couldn’t resist. Just need some rotors if anyone has any?
The savings continued and thereby ‘justified’ the spenny 105 purchase when a very nice friend leaving country gave me some used bits: 11-42t cassette, double sided Shimano pedals, and this selle italia novus saddle which has since had a touch of sharpie to the white side logo.
Seatpost is a Condor basic thing, 80mm Ritchey stem, and 42ctc Ritchey road bars - why no flared gravel bars you ask? Because £ I answer. But seriously do the flared drops make much of a difference? Never tried them.
In the post is the freehub to make those silly wheels work. Although pretty sure I need to spend another £20 to get the right end cap… love that. As well as the 1x11 GRX derailleur and a fresh chain to be rapidly worn by my worn spinny bits :)
Moving house in a couple days so is still going to be a couple more weeks till this is all put together, then I gotta tackle my first hydraulic setup n tubeless setup which should be fun with the help of more loving friends.
