Hey Carl,
It is my Saturday and finally had a bit of time to send you a few photos of
the completed bike.
I am still waiting on some 2015 chorus but was told by the supplier that
it’s still a few weeks out so, for the time, have used some older 10sp
chorus which still works amazingly well.
We are into a long period of “liquid sunshine” here in the PNW – rides have
been relatively short and VERY wet but what I do know about the bike, so
far, is that you nailed the touch points. It also appears that the bike has
amazingly good low and high speed stability – two things we talked about
several times. Tire clearance is also better than expected. Brake type was
maybe the hardest decision for me to make (cantis vs disc) so, while a bit
old school, the avid canti’s with the super stiff (44) front end stop great.
I love the understated esthetics and details of your craft but mostly It’s a
ton of fun to ride – you did a really awesome job.
All the best,
Mike
