The excitement of the build is very much real, and I've been ploughing my furrow again a bit this morning. A quick call to the good folk at Saddleback has seen a rather large number removed from my bank account, and the Maximas on their way to me, with a set of new rotors for good measure. Also on the way from them is the 'Matte Slate' CK headset in preparation for the build.
In fork related news, a call yesterday afternoon lead to rumours of an Intend Samurai being potentially available for sale. A follow up today has confirmed those rumours to be true (although in 'TR' spec rather than 'XC' spec, and a full 30g heavier!), so a price has been agreed for them, pending them being prepped for sale and me paying.
Although no matching Kashima, I think the Intends are likely to be a bit more befitting the 'special' build I'm aiming for!
