My first build, lots of random parts. Hit the road 4/17/2007.
Switched to a road bar with Tektro V-brake levers 1/17/2010.
Broke 12000 miles 3/19/2010, 15000mi 10/27/10.
At 19325 miles in 2/2012, decided to part out due to frame being smaller than my other bikes and being less comfortable. It had a good run. If you live in the South Bay and want the frame/fork/headset (and maybe seatpost), let me know.
