REAR SHOCK: RP3
FORKS: Revelation 426 U-Turn
BRAKES: Juicy Ultimates
REAR DERAILER: '08 XT Shadow
FRONT DERAILER: '08 XT
SHIFTER: Deore :o

The bars, stem and shifters will be next to go once I've decided on the right fit.

Agreed, meant to say in the original post that I'll be putting on some Time clipless pedals as soon as I get brave enough to practice with them again :o

If you don't, I'd be very happy to take it off your hands.

On a more serious note, its a bloody sweet rig and your pretty much garrenteed(sp?) to love it as soon as you hit the track! Now I'm wishing even more that I won the 575 frame at the 8 hour. Damn you Painy, damn youuuuu! ;)

Nice ride, really nice. The rims and forks look great.
And there's nothing wrong with flats!
Not on a bike like that anyway.
