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?
Get some bar bungs unless you like the cored apple look.
seat doesn't look very level and that's a mahooooosive front brake you've got there..
you've also got some stones in your lawn..
nice though.. quite jealous ๐
Nice, I have a sanderson and its a great bike, I am sure that will bring you many miles of happiness enjoy
Like the slim tubes and lack of rear mech 8)

Great wee bike , mine is in singlespeed form and absolutely love it , although I think an Alfine is on the cards , just too many technical climbs which I like to clean around me locally . I got mine from rufus on here but it had a 29" up front and just wasn't right , put it back to 26" and 100mm fork and all was well in the world again. Ideally I would like a very light weight 3 speed hub out back ( need to butcher an old Chopper I doubt ) Mine is 18" frame so I had to put an angled stem on it to fit me proper.
