  • Hello,

        Many thanks for the help over the past 2 years. I love you guys! Apart from getting excited about the Hatton fight this weekend and the possibility of Miguel Cotto battering Mayweather next year I've flogged the Fuji and been busy buying bits and pieces 
    

    for my first build. I've not had a massive amount of cash but didn't skimp on the essentials (cheers for teh tips Andy). So far i've horded the folowing...
    Sugino 75 Crank and chainring
    Open Pro's laced to Miche high flange (ta Arup! Great build)
    Nitto Pearl stem and Nitto Drops (ta Will Hubjub)
    Surly cog
    Using me old spds
    IRO Angus (would love something a bit special but here's where the chedderz dried up but It looks gorgeous so happy days)
    Using my old tubes adn tryes although waiting for them white rubinos this summer
    Here is where I'm up to. So really I need to grab a chain, seat and post, BB and headset... the last two I could use a heads up on.
    Can anyone recommend a decent, reasonable priced BB and headset out there at the moment? Shit that was long winded, sorry about that! Also, what chains would you guys recommend? This is my first build so I expect to be on here a lot more than I have been over the last year.

    Many thanks in advance.

  • Alright mate, not sure on everbodies thoughts on quality although im running both the shimano headset and bb and had no troubles with either, good price and free delivery usual gets to ya next day! Love to see some pics of ya angus once ya set up and riding, been looking at them myself.

    good times

  • BBB turnaround is going into my next build. Fancy pants bearings are supposed to work really well. Campag Chorus also reckoned to be great value for money.

  • cheers guys, i'll post pics up when it'd done. May be some time though! What you reckon to the FSA Silver headset. Worth a look?
