WTB saddle. My Speed V is comfy as all-get-out. No pain, actually.

pictures coming soon, I must say though, it looks a lot more beat now that the tires are not super clean white and with a brake so I may just post the OG pictures that I took. Less paint chips in that one too

Still needs for me to wire up the brake, still needs 700x28 skin/gum/brownwalls (i'm thinking Paselas), still needs me to put my brass bell on. Might need new handlebars...I'm not too sure about these Promenades.

Seeing all of these builds is making me jealous.
My rims, hubs, and spokes (all in silver, for my green GB frame) arrived from Harris today. The Harris hubs look really nice (and they're a great bunch of people). I just finished lacing both wheels. I'll tension & true this week.

jonnywill, our builds will be nearly identical when I'm done. I had the same thing planned. 28mm Pasela's, Nitto B617's, all silver componentry, etc...
My frame's black though. And I'll be cutting the promenades down as seen here.

if you guys wanted to see what the perk was for organizing this thing check it out, tony went to great lengths to get my frame NjS approved. In the end it worked out pretty well.

I've been very close to stripping parts off this for my cross bike which is taking priority, but for some reason I'm having trouble getting myself to do it.... (and yes, I know... the spacers 
)

Nice, pretty much my exact build colors except I'm doing a black 3T Mutant and gold hubs/seat post and I haven't decided on black or silver bars
