excellent. love the stem.

Submitted by nocturnus2 on 12/07/2008.

excellent. love the stem. and whatever you did to cover up the logos is very clean - I assume you didn't paint since the head tube and seat tube logos are still there... did you just tape? can't tell from the photos.

Brake Lever

Submitted by Aras on 09/13/2008.

I've been trying to find an all silver brake lever exactly like that. What brand and model is yours?

» login or register to post comments

its probably..

Submitted by Aaron C on 09/13/2008.

an old dia compe or similar lever. they dont make anything like that any more. go to nearest LBS (or ebay) that handles used bikes/parts and ask to see the box of brake lever take offs. with any luck you can land one for -3. they look great (i have a few on my rides) but be warned they dont have barrel adjusters so they are a little harder to dial in.

thank you for making this.

Submitted by room203 on 06/20/2008.

i wish i would have seen it sooner because i'm building up something very similar and was trying to decide whether or not to use black rims or silver rims with the white vittorias. kinda wish i would have gotten black after seeing this, but the frame is going to be green so i guess silver is ok.

definitely one of my favorites on here. really great job.
