Re: onetwentyeight's custom crosser I'll ask my friend who built the frame if he remembers what was used where. It's been long enough that I dont recall :)

Thanks! Its raining here in San Francisco again, so this bike has been seeing a bit more use as it's the only bike I own that has fenders. I love how it handles.

Bayview here. I also do sales and mechanics at a shop in soma.

try filling the king hubs with heavy mineral oil. It should quiet them down substantially without compromising much of anything.

I did get home safely, though I did have to stop to fix a flat. Thank you. Jack Taylor has a cult following here in SF, though they were based out of Stockton on Tees (I say they as they were 3 brothers, Norm, Ken, and Jack). You can find a lot of history and photos here...

You're welcome. As an update I took the bike out on Saturday to a wedding, as the wedding was for a cyclist couple and they wanted a group ride to the ceremony. As the reception ended a few of us decided to take a bottle of expensive burbon and climb the nearest peak to watch the sunset...

Hey... I work at Pacific. Swing by, say hi sometime. I'm Adam.

Yes it is. I work for an Ibis dealer so I put it on pre order almost as soon as they announced it. I took a few more photos while riding in the Marin Headlands yesterday.

if you're worried about rubbing, get a section of derailleur housing and with a razor blade whittle away the plastic outer till you can cut out a short section of the inner liner. I do that all the time.

the 3rensho and rossin had nitto bars, everything else is old school steel cinelli, with the engraved crest. I also have one of the old cinelli stems with the cloisonee badge. They are fun for alleycats, but around here I find I do better with my cross bike, more gears for climbing, stronger...

sure. the frame is 56.5 cm square with a 74 degree st angle and 73 ht. i requested top tube routing with full housing to the rear derailleur down the chainstay. There are no provisions for a front derailleur. it was made by a good friend of mine about a year and a half ago. hes been...
