    I tried an SLR C64 on my road bike for a while, wasn't uncomfy, but was bloody slippery, felt very strange, couldn't really get on with it.

    Good choice on the MtZoom Stem cap!
    I have one, and one of their Seat Clamps, also the KCNC skewers, I am forever looking at more trinkets to buy and bolt on!

    Looks good! You need to take that sticker off the front mech though!

    Now you just need to ride it!

    That was my point!

    Are you building a cyclocross bike? Lighter, quicker on that sort of terrain. Seems to make sense!
