Final parts list. Things likely to change (because final means jack):

Crankset. I'd like FSA carbon, really. And pedals. That's about it really.

Not going with XTR Dual Control because they felt mushy in my showroom test. That said, I'll swap out XTR for XT if the trigger release is mushy too. Need to get a ride test on that.



In other news:

Patience, friends and strangers, is just like virginity.

Once it's gone, it's gone.

This is going to be a bad mood week. I'm pissed off with a lot of things that's happening which I have no control over. And I'm not normally, so my patience will be short. I haven't talked to anyone in the last 4 months who had anything positive to share and I've talked to a heck lot of people. Guess I still need to expand my network. Where is Alison?

My life is going nowhere and I really need to be someplace - not today, not tomorrow - yesterday.

Damnit, guy.
