Nice. What brake levers are you using? This is one of 3 IM's that I have, the others are stock -- and the worst condition of the 3. So i'm thinking it would be fun to do a funky city bike/commuter bike. Being in Denver, I am leaning towards a 650b convo but swapping out bars would be much less $$..

yessir, highly recommend both the rims (dt swiss xm551) and the tires (wtb trail boss 3.0)
easiest rims ive ever built wheels with, didnt need any serious attention to bring them true, basically just laced them and brought them all to tension. tires are FAST and corner like a mother****er, i can lean it over hard like a dirtbike. they measure ~2.9 on these rims after 2 days, prob will relax to a full 3.0 soon
how do you like your honzo? i might be getting a Ti one this summer

I am a fairly novice MTB rider, but it has been awesome. I can pretty much point and shoot and ride up or down anything I want, assuming I have the legs to pedal through it.
This 27.5+ Ti Honzo has been haunting my dreams since I saw it.

Just picked this guy up. Been riding fixed for 10+ years, and this is my first road bike. Still haven't given her a proper ride (don't own clipless shoes yet), but my friends have been hassling me to come climbing in mountains with them. Don't really want to try that on a fixed.

And yeah, I'd LOVE the Aero Track. Either the curved seat tube, or the pursuit version.

I picked this Basso Ascot up about two weeks ago. I think it's about a 90' model, not sure yet. Full Campagnolo Chorus group in Choral finish, Columbus MS tubing.
