That's a very nice bike. But I'm a but worried about that tower of spacers. If you're actually going offroad with it, that's a potential weakspot as a lot of stress is put on the steerer tube.

To the other posters:
"Reverse levers" mean that the right lever controls the front brake and the left controls the rear.
The pedals in the picture are Weyless platforms. I never use them, I don't even remember why they were on there in the first place. I normally run black Eggbeaters, which I love.

It's been awhile since this thread has been touched. I'm curious what crank you used. I cannot tell from the pictures. I'm also building and all black Crosscheck. My build is very similar, but I'm running it as a single speed.
