Carbon fibre pub bike - trek 8700

[cce]

No, it's a 7.99 giant one. this bike will be abandoned at various points up and down gloucester road in brizzle so pretty it wont be. i may go fixed with a half-link chain.

Fair enough,

I'm just a bit of a carbon-whore...

It'd be really interesting (for me) to know what (if any) are the differences in the lower spec frame, that I have...

i got the headset out today, fitted a set of black rattlecan marin forks with an old FSA headset, a stumpy bontrager stem, world force riser and an assorted stack of spacers

i need some cranks (42t ring, to go on a 110 or 118mm BB)
some v brakes (basic avid or deore will do)
a seat bolt

happy to trade these against any of my FS items

it will be built 42:16 SS on slicks, for bombing from my house to various hostelries.

1993 and it Ice Blue lugs.
