cheers all for advice / support!
now I've bitten the bullet and bought my first bits - thought I'd better get probably the biggest-ticket item out of the way first
so have some twin pinch redlines on the way ;D these were def not part of the original budget!
tech 77s in silver/black
bulldog calipers in silver
haro fusion pedals in silver
elina ul with layback post
still need to find everything else but apart form headset think I'm going to have to wait a bit
pics will follow as soon as stuff appears for the voyeurs
lammychop:
the way i look at things and im a tight git you can buy haro fusion pedals ect and basickly there worth nothing second hand so buy the decennt stuff dx and xc and when you come to sell you will get your money back or even make some
MartyC:
Maybe have a rethink on the Elina UL with layback, they tend to look pants :-\.
Straight or Layback (no brace) seat post with a good Kashimax, Shotgun, Ariake or Elina seat always looks good ;)
griff:
I knew I was going to upset the purists! too late to cancel order now anyway with DP
If I build this thing with every part I want will be too scared to ride it - orig DX in silver would be very nice but for occasional riding thought the fusions would be ok
I know I'm taking a gamble with the seat n post but will see how it looks on the bike - have seen plastic saddles going for over 100 quids and I just can't justify that kind of outlay! (my good wife already had a few words to say about the redlines LOL)
will try and save some money with an old stem (that maybe I can clean up n polish myself) and hopefully the other bits I can get without breaking the bank
nobody slagged the brakes though so can i assume they're not too offensive? :LolLolLolLol:
cheers
Griff
