Currently being rebuilt with a few different upgrades and a bit of a different direction but will still be as light. I will be tuning the XTR front and rear derailleurs soon I hope or I might be changing the front derailleur over to an Ultegra or Dura-ace and tune that. I am running this set up with a 68 X 108bb so a road derailleur will work great for this 2 X 9 set up. I changed out the KCNC brakes and am now using some Vuelta Tuned brakes with Extralite levers. Changed to an Easton Monkey lite riser bar but will cut down the steerer a bit more to have the bars in the same position height wise. Full Nokon cables and I have tuned the shifters a bit with aluminum bolts. Standard SLR saddle and not the Carbonio version pictured. Last change was the wheels. I have an older pair of Mavic 517 with Specialized hubs (Hugi relabed as Spec). The only problem is that the front axel is the skewer on the hub so it does not allow for a standard skewer. I will take care of that by getting an insert made at work out of aluminum or Delrin to reduce the inside diameter to the correct size for a regular skewer and then go with the KCNC skewers that I have on order.
