Pretty standard, for Japan anyway, setup with 46t RD chainset , 18t EAI cog, grancompes to deep v, nitto drops and selle italia seat.
The frame is a lugged steel japanese road frame of unknown origins. Bought from the forums here.
After a nice ride, I think the track drops are too small for me and might get neutral stem and bullhorns.
Have a brake which I really want to install, but the holes in the fork are too small for the mounting bolts. I got a bolt on brake after advice from Carnival, but I forgot that they are for track forks so annoyingly doesn't fit. Also have some off white tape to do.
Also, finding the BB pretty low, the cages on the pedals drag on the ground (or is that normal?)
couldn't you just flip your track bars up and cut em off for some sick bullhorns? i'm about to do that with my bike.
