- Chromoly tange #2 tubing.
- Shimano Nexus 7 internal hub with J-tek bar-end shifter appropriately attached to a bar end.
- Bull horn handelbars and cane creek TT levers.
- Brooks B67 saddle.
- 35c tires.
- I just put on a new front wheel, craigslist special. It is a Jalco rim (never heard of them) with a shimano disc hub with rotor. I think adding the disc fork is going to be too much of a pain, so I'll probably just run it with a rim brake (it does have the machined rim).
oh my word, that is a large frame.
