Look to forward to the finished product, those eXotic parts are fantastic value for money.0

Looking good. How much does that stem weigh?
Also, IMO, XC bikes should have flat bars and SPD's...0 -

He's entitled to his opinion...and so are you! And so am I! (And I'm with you!)0 -
Lol, I can't get on with flat bars, bit jealous of the bars, they're out of stock for aaaaages! They're the ones I need.
The wellgo's are a good choice, I've had a pair on my bike for ages and they're still good, so much cheaper than the DMRs too.
What frame are you using?0 -

Nice looking frame that. Bloody bargain too! I take it that you got a mech hanger with it?0

Yeah it's nice and light too
And I did get a mech hanger plus some cable guide clips with it. For £99 you also get 2 years 'warranty'0 -
Can't believe how cheap it is, bargain! I was going to suggest one for my friend but he needs a 20/21"0
