Bike as it currently stands:



New upgrades since last photo: Wald basket, 105 brifters, YST headset (JIS), Tektro r556 brakes in white. It runs very well right now. I'm a bit picky; this bike took longer to get riding right than most of my builds. Some of it was the quality of the stock parts, some of it unfamiliarity of the frame type.

Headset and brakes:





Upgraded:
Cloth rim strips
Bar and stem
Origin8 seat post
Soma ensho saddle
105 Brifters
Tektro brakes

Panaracer tires
54 tooth chainring
11/28 rear cassette
Axiom rear rack w/wald basket
bolt on skewers
pedals and clips

Original:

Seatpost clamp
Wheels
Crank, small ring
