thinking ahead or overthinking depending on your definition , with the idea this will be a 20+ year bike (looking at a custom steel build) I am thinking about stashing some dupilcate parts

I am thinking, brake hoods, the shifters, deraillers for sure.
I think chains, cassettes, brakes should be obtainable or swapable for other parts.
I am on the fence about crankset or just rings.

what would you stash?

of course with the discount on getting a group, just getting a full space set may be cheaper than a few of the big pieces

Where did you order the groupset from?
