My Genesis Croix de Fer

I will when I've got the new headset installed, got to borrow a few tools tomorrow night

I have tentivly put the stainless mudguards on to the frame, I think think might be staying...

If you know the RAL of the frame, get the mudguard matched!

But SS will go with all the other shiny shiny no? Or thinking too much?

I'm going to keep the silver for the moment I think. Sorry for this appalling photo, i'm knackered and I can't be bothered to move the stand to a less distracting background.

Oh I also just bought a silver master piece seatpost....

i'd like to see the stem you'd need if it was slammed

can someone tell me what diameter band on front mech the Croix de Fer takes?

I believe it's 28.6. I bought the following for mine, and can't remember if I used the shim, but I think I did...

Shimano 105 5603 Triple 10sp Front Mech - 28.6/31.8mm - Band On - Black

Cheers,

I got the bars and Garmin mount today, both looks good. Photos soon

Hubs, and seatpost have come now. Does anyone know what disc brake mounts I'll need to order?

what hubs and bruv? If all hope (v twin + hope hubs) for 140mm rear 160mm front rotor Type A step-up; http://www.wiggle.co.uk/hope-step-up-black-mounts/

I ordered two 160mm, which is out of bloody stock and they're almost £25 on crc individually. I also found someone on ebay selling alligator i-link outter in 30cm lengths so I may well buy that for the brake to hydraulic junction box routing as dj said it works better than noodles

why so many gears?

In that case you'd need type A and type F; Since Hope was out of stock I bought Ashima (which I am also running on rat bike) they are awesome, light and good looking too.

If the alligator i-link are more than what you need then I'd be happy to take for the exact same purpose cable to hydraulic for V twin (or we can buy new and split costs).

To allow for heavy stuff

I'm not sure how much I need, I'll have to ask dj how he did his ie just a short section from where the bar tape ends to the box which is butted up against normal outter or if it was i-link from lever to box.

I'll happily give you any spare though

Things have slowed down for a bit but here is some inspiration.

needs mudguards?

You gonna put lugs on it?

bumping for interest...

...also in the market for a tourer of some sort. Have between £500 and £800 cash money to spend.

Well you're not having this one. I just got the money together for the wheels. Make a wanted thread.

Grim, perhaps posting in the touring equipment topic would be a better idea?

And have that damn bike been finished spotty?

Someone tell what length spokes to buy please.
Front hub: DO41SB
Rear hub: DO42SB
Rims: Mavic A319

Both hubs are 32 hole and i'd like 3 cross.
