It's a truly Canadian ride being that the bikes are a Norco Katmandu (straight gauge chromo) and a CCM... I have a rear wheel built up with a 4 speed cassette and think that will serve me well as it has a wide range and the cog position is very central which should reduce chain deflection.
The grey and black looks good together and I have a mountain of steel and a huge parts stock at the bike shop from which to draw any materials I need to finish things up.
I am pondering running a 24 inch wheel too althouhg I would really like to have dual brakes as it will be a hauler.
I hope to be riding it at the critical mass this Friday although I may not have it racked up.
