I'm very happy with the result. If anyone is confused about the bell, the threading for the CRANE(Japan) brass bells is the same as the downtube shifter bosses.

Enjoy!

Fork win.
The bike is full of win, I love it!

Could use a bottle cage though, but I dig.

Dude, you knocked it out of the park. Good job!

That bell is the sickest downtube-shifter-boss-cover-up I've ever seen.

Really diggin those bars. they look super comfy

With the wheel bolted all the way back as it is, wouldn't you have too much chain slack when you switch to the 16 tooth?

Never sell that bike. That's a future wall hanger.

When he switches the chain to the 16 tooth freewheel, he'll also be switching to the 39 tooth chainring.

I'm pretty sure that would create a wormhole.

Vix: Thanks yo, stainless steel bottle cages are comin' up.

Jason: Definitely. Hopefully I can hang it on the wall for storage as well. ;]


Thanks everyone else!

Thanks alot dude.

Pake says: "We built it up with a cyclocross geometry." I lol'ed.
I already thought my bike turned out like some kind of cyclocross touring townie freakshow.

hoods ftw.

Looks great! I love riding in T-Town, so much better than Scottsdale/Phoenix...

Well, my girlfriend keeps saying she really wants to go to Canada..

I'm in Phoenix at the moment but I visit Tucson pretty frequently (brother and cousin go to UofA). I'll bring my bike down next time!

You, Banzai, my lady and I?

No no, my lady, your lady and us. Doc would probably leave us in dust since he's got enormous quads...

Not sure if my lady will still be around though...she's going to move back to Britain in Jan.... :'(

So now you're the Canadian Asian French guy with a British girlfriend. Nice!

Not stoked about t though....been thinking 'bout it... :/

/End thread derailtment.

mustache bars FTW

but I think this bike could do without the deep rims, but it's still really nice

Wery nice, love everything but the bars. I'd put road drops on it, but I want to put road drops on everything.

Plug your bars!!!

Yeah, these wheels have done me good though, they're damn sturdy and I have beat them up. Helped me keep the build somewhere around 700-800 dollars.
Dude, some insect laid eggsacks in my bars last week! I do need bar ends.

Thanks seau. :] i'm pretty sure moustache bars only start getting comfy when they're about level with the saddle, and with a shorter stem than with other bars.

very very nice bike! It looks super comfy.

and uh... insect eggsacks. Gross. Plug 'em :P

Looks like it's a blast to ride! Great job.

Im buying tikis now.
