Small update (been ill). Managed to source some mint XT M739 v-brakes from a French guy on Ebay, and these nicely match the cranks. Having a nightmare of a time trying to find a decent silver handlebar with 31.8mm clamping area, as I've settled on a Sunline V1 stem in black and it has the common clamping size.
There is a green Sixpack Millenium stem available locally but I'm not sure I have the audacity to use it.
One thing I'm not sure on: brake levers. Should I spend hours (days) tirelessly searching for some Shimano ones in decent condition, or just buy some Avids and spend the rest of the time looking for handlebars? Or, any other left field suggestions I hadn't thought of? *edit, bought some bars (Funn Kingpins) because they were €20 and have 30mm rise.
Second thing: how the hell can I remove the decals from these Mosso forks? They aren't the 'standard' type you can just peel off, or heat up with a hairdryer. Not sure I can bring myself to sand them off a brand new fork (despite their intense ugliness).
