    New build spec is coming together
    Existing components
    ProII’s with XM 719’s
    M4 Tech Brakes
    KS i900 post (lever)

    Lightish AM build on Blur LT (probably may have a last throw at the TR)
    Hope BB & Headset
    Fox 34 Float 160mm (too good a price)
    SRAM x9 Cranks & Mechs with X0 or XX Twisties going 2×10
    Thompson x4 stem length tbc
    Bars – no real idea 760 & light currently got Nukeproof warheads
    may swap the mallets for candies in the pedal department

    May be a silly offer on a KS Lev to swap in

    Anything I’ve missed or worth swapping out, bars and stem are the most random really.

    On top of that has anybody got the Lev running with twisties, or the reverb for that not quite sure how that would work so if you have pics please.

    Something to sit on?

    Two things that have delayed builds in the past for me: correct brake mounting spacers to fit fork and disc. New gear cables outers to fit new frame.
    Also heli tape or some other cable rub solution.

    Charge Spoon Ti & Brakes coming off the old bike, also building within the sanctuary of the lbs (used to be a church) so should add a couple of 6 packs and some tunes to the list 🙂 by my calcs it will come in between 28-30lb depending on what I spend extra on/find in the magic box out the back

    KS lever might be a wee bit awkward with twistgrip- will depend on your brakes I think. I’ve not tried it but I doubt I could get it all together where I want it.
