Those King ti cages do look like they belong on that bike. I'll have to show you the ti stem spacer I ordered when it gets here in a couple of days or so. I'm happy right now with the spacer height under the stem, and I'd better stay happy with it, because I just spent stupid money for a single-piece spacer for it.
I rebuilt a wheel or two when I was in my young 20s, and then I've built three wheels in the "modern era" of my cycling, since I started riding again in 2009. So the chinese carbon rims I'm building will be my 4th and 5th wheels I've built, as soon as I get the hubs and spokes. Thanks to Youtube, Brandt Jobs' book, and various web pages I think I'll get it done with a decent build. The
rims showed up, but I haven't ordered the hubs and spokes yet. Bike Hub Store is having a holiday sale, so I'll probably order them in the next day or so.
