This bike has been a month long project.
Its downtube was repaired by Bernie Mikkelson, by the previous owner, and the paint was a mix of original/rattle can. Stripped it down, then thought I wanted to paint it hot pink. Paint ended up turning into a red-ish color, so I stripped that, and went for silver. The weather here turned, and the paint decided not to sit well. But whatever, this thing will get ridden and beat up.
I originally had a 100mm 3TTT Stem and 3TTT Pista bars, but they didnt feel right on this bike.
Took my risers off of my Jag, and bought a set of Nitto b123s, to give it a solid feel. First time wrapping up bars, and it was a pain in the ass. I have a set of Champ grips at the tops, because cloth and steel bars? Not the best feeling at the wrists. That was a pain to wrap around. I do ride the drops, but I also usually wear gloves. I didnt want their to be a chunky bottom, and chunky top with the middle of the bars looking skinny, ya know? Anyways.
Janky headset, because I had no idea what crown race size this bike needed, got a random one from a shop, and luckily it fit this janky one. Once I find a legitimate headset that fits, I'll switch.
Cant find an affordable nice 26.6 Aero seat post, so I got a janky Kalin at a shop. Saddle was free, but Im waiting on a Selle SLR. Should be here anytime soon.
Originally had two sets of Black 75s, so I polished this set out (not pictured,) and ended up selling the other set.
Gonna throw on some Gumwall Panaracer tires instead of the Continental Super/Ultrasports.
I cant wait to get this thing rolling.
I'll update with pics, as soon as its finished.
Enjoy or hate.
**EDIT**
Finally got this bike up and running. Only thing missing at the moment is some mirror finish bar ends.
Runnin smooth.
