My new machine.

Fork: Surly Long Haul Trucker
HS: VO Grand Cru Mirror Finish
Stem: Scrodzilla 70mm VO(lady took the newer 90mm)
Bars: Origin 8 Tiki
Brakes: Tektro CR720/Tektro road levers
Wheels:Weinmann DP18/Formula
Cog: NOS ACS Claws 16-17t double freewheel
Tires: Panaracer Pasela Tourguard 37c

I'm very happy with the result. If anyone is confused about the bell, the threading for the CRANE(Japan) brass bells is the same as the downtube shifter bosses.

Enjoy!

kill it with fire!!!

So it's that much of an abomination? Awesome!

Looks great! I dig the bell.

Thanks man.

Put another chain on there.

Fork win.
The bike is full of win, I love it!

Could use a bottle cage though, but I dig.

Dude, you knocked it out of the park. Good job!

That bell is the sickest downtube-shifter-boss-cover-up I've ever seen.

Really diggin those bars. they look super comfy

With the wheel bolted all the way back as it is, wouldn't you have too much chain slack when you switch to the 16 tooth?

Never sell that bike. That's a future wall hanger.

When he switches the chain to the 16 tooth freewheel, he'll also be switching to the 39 tooth chainring.

nicest pake i've ever seen. i really like this new canti townie fad. it's classy.

i wonder how that frame would do in cx...

+1 I approve :thumb:

Chuck Norris does too

I'm pretty sure that would create a wormhole.

Vix: Thanks yo, stainless steel bottle cages are comin' up.

Jason: Definitely. Hopefully I can hang it on the wall for storage as well. ;]


Thanks everyone else!

Thanks alot dude.

Pake says: "We built it up with a cyclocross geometry." I lol'ed.
I already thought my bike turned out like some kind of cyclocross touring townie freakshow.

hoods ftw.

Looks great! I love riding in T-Town, so much better than Scottsdale/Phoenix...

Dude! Let's ride some time? Do you live in Tucson?

Aw...I want to go for a ride with WoundedKnee too. :(

:'(

Well, my girlfriend keeps saying she really wants to go to Canada..

I'm in Phoenix at the moment but I visit Tucson pretty frequently (brother and cousin go to UofA). I'll bring my bike down next time!

Road trip!

We'll have a 4 people ride party, It'll be a blast.

You, Banzai, my lady and I?
