The decision.

Since I started wrenching on classic bikes, I had been thinking it would be nice to build up a bike from scratch with new parts and make it my own. So that was the decision. I began planning my build and collecting the parts. I wanted something that was unique to me, so I began looking for the components for the build on eBay and saving money for the paint.

By the time February arrived, I had amassed a small collection of parts.



A bunch of goodies from all over the world. Lots of shiny Velo-Orange bits, Rivendell parts, a seat post from Norway, and a rear derailleur from England.





Give it up for the Cyclone three pulley!
