One extra long length cable outer.
One extra long length hydro hose/olives/barbs.
One different front mech.

All things I lack, despite my neighbour (and fellow forumite) generosity and efforts...

Oh the frustration... Anyone else done similar?

Riding singlespeed means I'd only need one of those three

Feeling your pain. Got a build waiting for it's wheels. New LBS teething troubles. Kinda wished I'd ordered them myself now but was trying to be supportive. These things happen though....

My full suss has been like pulling teeth. I finally got it built up last week but am still waiting for tyres and need to shorten the brake hoses. Don't really want to do that without a bleed kit but need the bike before I can get one. Gar!

Yep just finished my Bandit tonight after having to wait for a hope hose connector a breaking the original one on the weekend removing the old cable. It was all the little bits which held it up, headset spacers, cable outers and the like.

Steerer is a deal breaker 🙁

Thankfully mine is a wait on a delivery of shiny parts 🙂
