Absolutely beautiful. I used to be a regular visitor to your mac.com gallery, just to drool - in fact there's a link to that (dead) page on the first page of this thread.halaburt":lhwphxtd said:
Right, I have just flicked through the whole thread, as I have the germ of an idea for my next build.
The first question that springs to mind is; with the exception of the single speed bikes, is everyone running triple / mountain bike gearing?
Next question: CX type drops or flared drops like the On One Midge?

I ran triples, starting with the LX that was on, and moved through an FSA & finally a non-compact Deore one (48 outer). Mostly never needed the granny ring, though it was nice on few occasions. Was running "standard" drops, not wide/flared ones. Still using those bars on my Kaffenback.
Only thing I had to change was to swap to a road front mech to match the road STIs.
