I might swap the control tech quill stem to something with more of a rise on it, for comfort.

Doesn't come cheap building a bike on your wish list, never mind finding bits to fit in odd sizes ( told you that seatpost was 26.8mm )

I thankyou, it's taken a while and a ton of money, when I added up what it cost, I could have bought a really nice newer bike.

What the hell
