First bike build, it only has a shimano 105 powertrain (I'm not liking the shifting cable connects) but I love kidding with folks telling them I have a licensed Rat Fink bike (I think they don't exist). It's a Nashbar frame, double butted aluminum. It was actually lighter than I expected it to be but not as light as a carbon fiber of course. I was going for an 'old school' look. I tried to bring my 12 speed Peugot to Korea but it needed too many repairs so I left it. I think this is a fitting replacement because I'm not a racer or marathon biker.
Ignore the pedals, it was an experiment. My feet slip too much using those track pedals. I'm getting something better.
BTW, the reflectors are gone. I use 3M tape.
