This is my main work bike, actually my only work bike now that my giordana is no more. The front end is being held together by a wish, I'm not sure which will go first the fork or the alloy welded stem. Its not super lite, but its real quick.
built this up to replace the pinarello as a street bike. it has a nice short wheel base for traffic but is still pretty comfortable sitting on 25c's which are the absolute largest tire I had clearence for which is what I wanted anyway. its a really comfortable fit for me and especially for something I just threw together. Nice bike with nice parts but not flashy, doesn't attract attention. I feel safe locking it up. I find no-V rims refreshing with the deep V craze in full swing.
Most of the parts are just from my parts bin and I was planning on putting a c-record head set on but the stack height was too much.
This project started with the back wheel which my friend found in the garbage, all I had to do was build the rest of the bike.
