Thanks folks.
^ CR said he'll work it into the overall costs so going to run with that. Apparently CK headsets are the only ones they use unless otherwise specified so the price shouldn't be bad.
Cheers for the dibs though Apollo, much appreciated.
It was nice to watch how he logically thought sbout the whole build and how his thought processes ran. He picked out things that now seem obvious but at the time were forgotten or not necessarily appropriate.
He did a rough calculation and the BB height came out as 28.5cm so pretty spot on. he did say it shouldn't be an issue though with 165 cranks. The headtube will sit at approx 73.5degrees so toe overlap shouldn't be a problem either with a 40 rake fork. It can always be replaced with 35 degree if I need/want something closer and twitchier!
Dr P, can you rmember what the issue was? Need to go and select the appropriate RAL in the next week or so. Your build sounds awesome, I'd love full DA but it's bit of an issue finding it in black. I did have a massive dilemma regarding hubs (PW vs Mack) but eventually went for Macks as I can get a custom colour scheme etc.. Should be here by August sometimes apparently.
Shall keep you all posted folks and cheers! T
