And so it is time for an update!
A few things have come in via post…
My original intention was to re-use the perfectly good Ultegra kit already on the Silver Surfer but after the cold realisation that Dura Ace 9100 is likely the peak of mechanical rim gruppos, and a bit of marketplace scouring… looks like we are levelling up.
The changes locked so far:
That’s 483g, although some of those changes predate the thread by a month or two.
The difference between the shifters was surprisingly marginal:
I had originally picked up some KCNC skewers, but after reaching out to the Tune distributor I couldn’t resist these beauties…

KCNC have been returned:
I think I mentioned previously, but I do have a carbon rail saddle lying around that might go on. The old Selle Italia was nice and won’t go in trash against the day this whole thing goes retro again
Shoutout to Aliexpress for these ti cages. The finish is a bit dull so I might have a go at polishing them to match the frame. I’ve read jewellers rouge is the go? Curious to hear if anyone has any insight.

Much lighter than the oldies:
I have had a quote on the fork to get sanded back and recleared with no decals and it’s not usury, but will take a little while. Might be something that happens later.
Now a real question:
Does the brain’s trust know where I can source seals for an old Campagnolo 1” headset? I wouldn’t mind getting spare bearings too. A new bling CK headset would be nice but the current one is perfectly good (and I can’t find a silver one on marketplace

).
