that leather saddle looks perfect on there. Love that retro flavor with the entire build az_andrew, matches the graphics Cinelli was going for too

my 2 cents would be to check out the polished silver version of the tb14 if you aren't set on the archetypes.

afaik, the logos don't come off on the archetypes, so the tb14's could be a good alternative to both.
cheaper than open pros too.
either way, it sounds like you'll have a nice build on your hands

I just finished my first build.....
So I have been working on this now for about six months and just finished it up yesterday with the help of my LBS, Bull Run Bikes. I have never built my own bike before but thought that it would be a good time to give it a shot! We lost three family members last year in eight months and this bike was built as a tribute to my grandfather who was a through and through Boston Irishman. Right down to the tattoo of a pig peeing into a beer mug on his calf which was done in the 40's by hand. Hopefully we don't end up in the jackass post! Crapy phone pics for now because the weather has been crapy!

If you like it I guess that's all that matters.

Now that you've built one bike, you're on a slippery road to hell, it's more addictive than most stuff that's illegal.

Thank you Sir! I am we'll aware of the slippery slope! Told my wife I was thinking about building a bike for my 8 year old, she shook her head and said "for Christ sakes why can't you just buy one from the store already built". I just smiled and went about my business.

Well, I dropped off all my parts today at the shop and unfortunately couldn't stick around for the build, due to work. They ended up tweeting out a photo, so it's a crappy phone pic that I later instagrammed, but I'll post it anyways.

Haven't even seen it in person yet. Probably going to wrap only the drops in a leather tape that matches the saddle. Also going to put a Chris King on it shortly, but the VO will do for now.

I'll pick up some cages this weekend. I've always rode single speed. I rode the track once this year with my dad, on a rental, with clip in's...I hated it. I assume I hated it because it was my first time, I don't know what the gear ratio was, I was hungover and didn't wanna be there. All I can say is...I really, really hope it's not as bunk as that experience made it seem. It's a flip/flop so there's a freewheel to keep me going (or allow me to stop I guess) until I figure it out.

that topo tape looks right at home... nicely done.
does anyone know the distinction between vigorosa and vigorelli?
I'm going to assume they're one in the same. meh.
