It's taken hours of trolling through websites to decide on components
for the build. I've been keeping an eye out for good prices on X5, X7
and X9 components, only to realise that stocks are rapidly disappearing.
Why? Well, I finally discovered that SRAM have released new 1x10 and
2x10 GX groupsets which supersede X7 and X9. Nobody has stock yet but
I'm going to order as the prices are surprisingly affordable.
As posted, the wheel components have arrived - the rest, well it'll be ordered as funds become available.
OK, so here's the proposed component list:
