What size is that? If it's a 47c I have blue bike envy!

Formula hubs laced to Sun M13 with a white industries freewheel. Brewtal cranks which are copies of campy's.

Nicely done!
Those cranks look like the IRD "Defiant" model - modern cold forged throwback to 70's campy. If so, I have the same cranks for my Marinoni conversion.

My only critique would be to put the brake up front, where you get 70% of your braking effectiveness.

Yep, Same thing as the IRD cranks minus the logo which adds $40 to the price.

Cool - I wasn't aware of the Brewtal's. The price diff isnt $40 though. I got mine for $155 from Bikebiz, so only $15 diff.
