Just finished building this up for my roommate. Her birthday is this Saturday so I built up this SS for her. I bought everything except the wheels which her significant other dropped off this afternoon. Even though she's slightly shorter than me, she rides a bigger frame - her legs are longer.
Stats:
Bridgestone 400 in gun metal grey from Working Bikes here in Chicago (
http://www.workingbikes.org)
Sakae SX cranks, 52 tooth chainring
20 dollar Ascent clipless pedals - cheap but they work pretty well.
Cut off Nitto's, now stubby bullhorns.
Rear wheel: MA3 rim with Suzue hub
Front wheel: Sun M13II with Shimano RSX hub (both wheels as a wheelset from NYCBikes.com)
700x28 Vittoria Radonneur tires - nice smooth roll, perfect for commuting.
Spanking new SRAM PC-1 chain - el cheapo and el reliable.
