I've got most of the drive train but I still need a few more parts before I install it. So far I've just got the headset on to keep the fork attached to the frame. I've also drawn a crude concept drawing of the final product. I'll keep posting pics as the bike gets more complete.


Just got my wheels back from my shop and they are awesome. They are Mavic CXP 33 with Phil Wood road hubs and double butted spokes. SHINY!!! Now that I've got my wheels back I can attach the cassette and align my chain for installing my Phil Wood BB. I also got Sugino Compact Cranks 50/36 172.5mm. And Dura-Ace Front and Rear Derailluers, Cassette 12-27, and Bar-End Shifters. Check out the shiny.

I like the red accents and the silver components.

Touring or commuting?

Barcon shifters or Brifters?

What size tires?

Looks good!

It doesnt look like you have enough clearance on that front fender. Maybe its just the angle I'm looking at though.

I'm gonna need a drive-side look-see or this post is worthless.

That is awesome. Are you running a 12x53 cassette with 135mm cranks? That baby is built to spin. ;)
