So.....she is done!
Here's the 'road' version....before the susforks arrived:
....and then, early this morning the forks arrived, and the riser bars came last night.....so...
...aaaand then we get the final version...:
So there we have it. I am grinning from ear to ear!
Haven't weighed her, but she's plenty light enough for me, especially for steel. And the 34t front/11-32t back seem to give me just what I need in gearing. Nice!!!!
Thought I might want to nitromors the forks down to metal stealth, but now it feels like it's just right the way she is dressed with red legs for a bit of zest.
Now I just have to learn how to ride clipped in...lol...yes, no comments please on the plastic adapters still on the candy c's....lol. Newbie, remember...
There shall be plenty of riding over the weekend, starting today and then I'll find out how we get on, but initial riding feedback is very pleasant indeed.
Thanks to everyone for your knowledge and the bits I found on here too. You know who you are. Cheers for infecting me with the bug. Let's see how long it takes until I have to build the next one. Ride this for a while and then see what it DOESN'T do I guess and then gather stuff to build something that does.....
