Basically this is the same bike as my Campeon-- I swapped all the parts over, save the decidedly non-roadie long-reach brakes, Brooks saddle, fenders, 28cm tires, and Carradice Barley bag.
I loved that Campeon, I did. That mother could fly, but I just am not a roadie. Having that fancy a road bike that never got used because I was always out on its steel siblings seemed like a waste and a shame. I decided I'd hang its parts on a steel frame with more relaxed angles/longer stays/lower BB/lots and lots of braze-ons.
Now all three of my bikes 1. are steel, and 2. have Brooks B17s. AND THAT'S WHERE THE SIMILARITIES END-UH. Okay, wait... except for the full fenders. And the rear rack. Other than that stuff, TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
