After a bit of chatting to people and reading-up I've built this with the aid of the classifieds and it's my favourite ever bike, just got back from a "short" test run that I just had to extend by an hour or so;
rockshox rev's @120mm
alfine 8 rear
bb7 discs
hope xc front
Stops and goes like nothing else, gear change instant, pick-up instant and silent as the night.
Frame is superb - feels even more fun than the old 456. EBB system is simple, works and no creaks yet (only one ride old though)
Aside from valves/logos/chain tension etc what do you think?
