Custom Civia Commuter Build

Here is a build that I'm currently in the middle of : Civia Hyland Drop Bar

I'll post a full build list here later.

I took apart the Avid BB7 calipers and painted them black.

Also, the wheels are still being built and I'll be installing bar tape and some other goodies in the next couple of weeks, I'll update the thread as the build gets finished up.

The cabling options on the frame are great, fully housed cabling everywhere. The caveat is that I had to rig a cable stop for the front dérailleur (there isn't one on the frame), so I'm looking into a better solution for this.

I rode it for the first time today (10 miles/18km), I'm going to do a few things to make the stance a little more upright and the derailleurs still need some cable adjustment.





Notice I use a torque wrench...yes, I know I need a proper bike stand...


The wheels are off my old MTB commuter...new 700C wheels are being built
