I bought this off a friend a few months back, I saw the frame hanging in his basement practically untouched and about to turn 20 (see pictures). I soon bought it but lost interest in building it when I missed having it done for its big birthday. Now that I'm done with my STS remodeling I moved on to this and actually banged it out in a matter of days. It looks fantastic, Ive ridden it once for less than a mile because a large snow storm moved into the northeast and the city got around 8 inches dumped on us. Hardly the storm of the century they all promised but enough to keep my road bikes indoors.
Anyway its a Trimble Aero 1 built on August 25th, 1989 and I'd be surprised if it has seen more that 50 miles of road.
theres a mishmash of parts and changes will be made soon (namely the bars maybe the cranks) but right now its:
HED. disc superlight rear wheel
Specialized Tri-Spoke front wheel
Chris King 1" NoThreadset
Shimano Ultegra Octalink cranks w/ dura-ace rings
Shimano 105 derailleurs front and back
Campagnolo bar end friction shifters
Exage Motion brake levers
Shimano 105 brake calipers
American Classic 25.0mm seatpost
Serfas kevlar ARC saddle
more pics to come as parts are swapped out.
