Truvativ BB and Crankset
WTB post and saddle
Pro2 Hubs - with a 321 Rim on the rear (built by yours truly on Monday - two days of hard riding and it's still true!) and a DT5.1 on the front (stolen, along with the front brake and forks, from my Nomad)
And the most important bits (if you get this wrong, Brant will come and hit you with sticks, apparently)
50mm Raceface stem
745mm Sunline V1 Bars
I've had the bike for a few weeks - firstly with Rockshox pikes on there but swapped them out for the 36's to see how it handles a bigger fork. The verdict? very well indeed. No where near as divey as they were on my Prince Albert - but they do raise the BB just a smidgen...
I took it on our 2 day refuge trip this week, with some properly slow technical riding and it excelled itself. I was also suprised at how not beaten up I was - must be those twangy seat stays!
Refuge ride report coming soon. It was a belter!
