    Nice one, I'm just starting my first build too, so I'll be keeping a close eye on progress here.

    Best of luck with it and plenty of pics and updates please. :)

    Cheers lads,some good deals from planet x on the sram stuff.Went for SRAM rival brake calipers as I saw on a pro bike they used them instead of SRAM red cos they were stiffer(and only 50 euro for a pair!)The arione saddle came from probikeshop in france,was about 50 euro aswell.The chainset is FSA SLK from planet x,about 150 euro with the bb.Internal cables are easy on the frame.Keeping my eye out for nice set of wheels,would like carbon clinchers but I know they get negative press.Will get some pics up when it looks like a bike;)

    The bike is finished now and looks good.Got help with the bb and headset cos I didnt have the tools.Very few problems and its nice to have a bike that you dont want to change parts on straight away.I will post pics when I learn how to.Big difference to my boardman team carbon,especially out of the saddle.Very stiff.Good luck to the other guys doing a build.BDK.
