New BB: Sugino 68x103mm
New Crankset/48 Chainwhell: Sugino RD black
Wheels: Mavic CXp-22 black w/ Formula flip/flop Hub
Tires: Vredestein Fortezza 700x23 front, Conti Gatorskins 700/23 back
still need:
Handlebars: SOMA bullhorns - the ONLY manufactured 25.4 bullhorns available. -- Nitto makes plenty of drops at 25.4, but no bullhorns.
New pedals - thinking about the Shimano m324s (the standard one-side and SPD flip-side pedals)...never ridden a bike with clips...gonna take some getting used to.
Here's what it's looking like right now. Sorry for the really bad picture - taken at night inside. better pictures this week. better picture on Velospace
Hey hey.. very slick.. I'm really jealous of that frame; it is sweet!! Did you measure your chainline? I assume it is 42mm... I almost went with the same BB/crankset but I went with the bulletproof because I didn't want the 48tooth chainring that came with the RD.....
