It was built up with Phil Wood Riv hubs (custom 48 spoke in rear), Velocity Chukker Rims w 700c x 37 Continental Sport Contact tires, Chris King headset, Nitto Mustache bars with Lime Green cloth tape, Pink Jagwire cables, a Nitto Dirt Drop Stem, Sugino Triple XD2 Crankset, Zefal Ciry fenders, and a Brook B17 Special saddle. Wheels were built by Rich Lesnik at Rivendell. Bike was built by JT at J&L Bicycles in Burlington, NC.
Hi T-S,
Are those modern Shimano Cantilever brakes? What model? They look good and might be a great solution for older forks with narrow cantilever post centers.
Tell us more :-)
