Seatpost, stem, and bars in the pic are place-holders ONLY, I have not decided what I want yet. Some parts are on order. Cranks and BB will be the turbines from the Caloi in the pic.
Right on. Those older specialized frames are prime candidates for ss conversions. Looks good so far. I'm thinking anything syncros or control tech for parts, maybe salsa for the quill stem? Keep with the rad 90's parts.
