Just finished this build! I've been sitting on all the pieces for it for a couple weeks now, waiting for an old drop bar from my dad's touring bike. I ended up giving up and grabbing this bar from a children's bike trailer that was in our basement

. Turns out some old bar tape i saved is the same color as the grips! I figure he won't have replaced the bar before the new year so I'll repost in the 2025 thread, hopefully with a drop bar and the fork cut to size. (don't look at the rear wheel too long, its my first wheelbuild so forgive me

)
