    the stem on my list going for a 90mm
    but with that stem im not hunched over might get a 90mm and instead of a carbon seat pin get a Thomson layback.

    Because charge grips rule :)

    Just tested a set of their thin grips - very nice.

    Nice bike, love the frame.

    Well you need to get rid of the red seatclamp now as it stands out too much :lol:

    And some blue caliper caps would look nice too, i replaced the gold with red ones on my inbred, looks much nicer...you need to get a special tool but it only cost a few quid, crc have them.

    you should get some gold bits to match the calipers... speaking of which i have a gold seatpost clamp, gold spacers and gold skewers for sale in the for sale section :lol::lol:

    loving the on one 8) 8) 8) gave me a few idea's like cables and and resovar caps do you need to rebleed once top caps are removed.

    You can swap the reservoir caps without rebleeding if you are careful, just top up the reservoir with fluid when putting the new cap on. The bore caps however need a full system bleed. Wasn't a problem for me as i was already changing hoses, connectors etc. Its only a 10 min job per brake to bleed them up anyway.
