Just have to install the cables, levers bar tape and chain. I still have to buy the DT SS butted spokes I need to build the wheelset (Spidel 700 LF 32H hubs and 32H Mavic GL 330 rims). Just have to push myself to finally calculate the spoke legnths and order the spokes and brass nipples (Unfortunately, the spoke legnth calculators on the internet do not have these older hubs and rims in their database.).
Look forward to seeing the final product !
I have used the sapim calculator with success in the past .
It allows you to put in your hubs/rims parameters rather than having detail of brands etc .
