I have been collecting bits for the last week or so, and digging around to decide what to spec.
I have the frame and forks now, and i popped over to the bike shop on friday to get the headset pressed. I've had this Pewter Chris King for probably 3 years in my parts bin, pleased i have finally found a new home for it!
Some parts have been collected from the parts bin, some robbed from the Vivalo i am selling, and some new.
Parts I already had:
Black Thomson Elite seat post
Flite Ti saddle
Deda 90mm stem ( this will be used to set up and later replaced with a thomson)
Time Atac roc pedals
Parts I have bought:
Avid BB7 MTB brakes with 160mm rotors
Sram S500 levers
Brake cables and housings.
Next up are the wheels, I bought the hubs today and the rims are on the way, I will reveal all soon...
I also bought some SKS Thermoplastic guards, i went for the up to 28c versions as i intend to run 28c tyres on the road. If/when i go off road the guards will be off anyway and i will have the room for bigger tyres.
