*****Finished pics in post 10
Its not quiet finished yet as I am having a few headset issues. But I thought I would post a few shots of my new bike.
As usual, building with bits in the shed causes a few issues and I am stuck while I sort out a new headset. I was planning on using a Cane Creek XXII which was all fine except the fork has a 1 1/8th steerer. The bottom cup of the headset is fine as I have the reducer crown race, but the upper sup is 1.5". Need to either get a new upper cup, or a complete new headset.
Also getting some MRP Camber Cranks as they give a better chainline on this frame going by all the reviews online.
Anyway, the spec.
Frame - Mountaincycle Battery
Rear shock - Marzocchi Rocco R
Front shock/fork - Marzocchi 55 TST2
Handlebars - FSA KLite
Stem - Either Sunline or Easton Vice
Headset -
Grips - Ritchey Foam
Saddle - FUNN
Seatpost - Bontrager Carbon
Front brake - Hope M4
Rear brake - Hope Mini
Cranks - Truvativ Holzfeller (soon to be MRP camber to resolve clearance issues)
Chainguide - e13 (soon to be MRP mini G2)
Rear derailleur - X0
Rear shifter - X0
Cassette - PG990
Hubs - Hope Pro II
Rim - Syncros
Tyres - Kenda Nevigal 2.35
