Before:


After: Running a 52-17 ratio. Weighs in at 18lbs. Swapped over Sugino cranks and mavic 700c front rim, and bought a new chain, Sunlite fluted seatpost, and FSA Vision TT saddle


Laced the hub myself. Runs truer than before I disassembled the wheel. Vintage 700c Peugeot rim laced to walmart-spec hub. Avenir 17t cog and FSA lockring. And I've never had a problem with the suicide hub unscrewing...I just make sure it's tight periodically.


And that is the original REAL white leather handlebar tape.


Total build cost: $33
