Uncharacteristically I've made more progress with both bikes, it's enjoyable seeing them come together reasonably quickly.
Chopped the steerer and v-brake mounts on the Rockhopper and fork. Also removed the rear brake cable guides and ordered some stick on ones that'll take a hydro hose. I've got a plan involving a hinged DMR clamp and some bodgery to fit the dropper cable. I'm glad I chopped the brake mounts as it's cleaned it up visually a little.
Cut a small steel stem spacer to match the outer diameter of the stem steerer tube and I've picked up some paint cans so I can spray over the removed bosses and paint the stem/spacer black.
Also chopped the steerer on the Focus, and fitted a front caliper and an Arione so I can match the fit on the Tricross closely. Still waiting on a few odds and ends in the post to finish it off but I'm pleased with how it's coming together.
