  • Carbon shock, carbon cranks, 4Ti eggbeaters
  • SRAM RED road front derailleur (10sp), with adapter to make top-pull. Cage and bolt Ti. All much lighter then MTB mechs.<br /> Also Powercordz shifter cable, with iLinks housing.
  • Carbon FSA K-force light duo cranks. Just the two chain rings - 29/42.
  • XTR shadow rear derailleur, and XTR cassette. Powercordz shifter cable (polymer cable), with iLinks housing (Al links)
  • Avid Elixirs will be replaced by Formula R1s when I can get them.<br /> Stem bolts have been changed to Ti. The stem, Ritchey WCS, and bars, EC90 CNT, are off my old race bike.
  • The saddle, Selle Italia SLR, it off my old race bike. The seatpost, Bontrager XXX light, came with the frame.
  • The cage bolts have been changed for Al.
  • Magura Durin SL, slightly lighter then SIDs. 32mm stanchions, so not too flexy.
  • The steel shifter (XTR) bolts have been swapped out for Al bolts.<br /> The brake caliper bolts have been exchanged for Ti.
  • The shock is an all carbon construction, and is gimballed to relieve any lateral or twisting forces put on it by the linkages. Also it's a 'full-floater' which means nothing other then it doesn't connect to the frame at all, only the linkage arms. The evo link there is magnesium.
  • The wheels, American classic rims laced with sapim C-Xray spokes to tune hubs, are off my old race bike.
  • Still shiney!

  • After being ridden for the first time. look at it, it's filthy!<br /> Verdict: very VERY fast up. Needs some work on the way down!
