If you watch his vids, I don't think that he's trying at anything (and I don't mean this as a condemnation, either).

Great looking EVO. And those chainrings... its all HOT.
I like this build...alot. HOT.
Fatties with Campy... cool looking build in my book. HOT too.
I've seen this frameset in person and it looks really good. Your bike definitely needs a better pic.

Some minor changes on both bikes. I switched out the lizard skins tape for fizik microtex on the Merak. I removed the ZG brakes and installed Campagnolo SR brake on the Noah Pro, along with Elite Cannibal cages.

Put together Thursday. Test ride Friday. 75 miles yesterday. 45 today. Rides great. Still messing with saddle angle, forward-rear, and height. Ignore the friction paste. My problem is that there is no tan wall tire that is equivalent to the durano. Also, I have like 4 of them. So I need to get through them.

Hot. What size tire are you looking for? Will a challenge erocia fit?

I meant to say that veloflex, grand bois, and challenge clinchers with tan sidewalls are all pretty fragile, low mileage tires. It would really complete the look though. The durano is an ultra-high mileage sure-footed training tire with reasonable flat resistance that sells for like 30 bucks.. I'm pretty sure I can fit at least 32mm tires on the bike.
