Hello,

I have updated the photos of my modified Birdy in the photos section of the
user area. They are in the album 'McLaren Birdy'
I have now completed the stem modification and this is shown. If anyone is
interested in any details, let me know!

A brief rundown of mods include:

Cook Bros crank arms
Cook Bros Egg Beater Pedals
56T Elliptical chainring by Highpath Engineering
Action Tec Titanium Bottom Bracket
American Classic Ultra Light Headset
Tune front and rear Hubs
Single butted spokes
Carbon handlebars
Kore Elite handlebar stem (oversize)
Shortened handlebar post
Magura HS33 hydraulic brakes with titanium bolts
Stahlflex stainless braided hydraulic hose
Carbon Brake Booster
Carbon hydraulic brake levers
SRAM Rocket shifter
Titec Corky grips
Stiff front elastomer
Stelvio tyres
Brooks Swift Titanium Saddle
Titanium seat and wheel skewers
Nokon gear cable
Shimano XTR derailleur with titanium fixings
Shimano XTR titanium rear block 11-28t
STP titanium fixings where I could

I now intend to much more riding than tinkering and will give it a good test
ride around Brittany in a few weeks!

Many thanks to all who helped with expert knowledge especially Carsten for
advice and producing my spokes.

Regards
