I like that blue one but I’d go stealth black again – it just doesn’t date, everything goes with it, it’s anodising so it’s tougher than paint or lacquer, and it’s lighter than paint or lacquer – and looks thoroughly badass.
~1lb lighter is impressive – I bet a big chunk of it is the smaller dropouts, the older ones are quite a weight!
It’s a little strange that all the Spitfire build kits feature 160mm forks but the geometry chart is with a 150mm fork, so the builds would all be 0.5 deg slacker, a bit longer in wheelbase, shorter in reach and taller in stack & BB.
