    did some rummaging in the workshop today and found a Deda Newton stem and some Piega Elementi bars, plus some ti bolts to make this combo lighter than the Ritchey bits and a bit more classic shaped - I think you did me a favour there ;-)

    the same ( AKA Avid L) , they look very nice, are light but have very tight tolerances and not much adjustability beyond the ability to change the angle of the arms - as per below pictures. I found these are not very tolerant of canti bosses/studs that aren't perfect for this type of...

    lol - apologies for upsetting your (gravel) sensitivities Nobby :-) I may well experiment with something more traditional than the WCS Venturemax/Skyline which are adventurebike/CX orientated - I have some nice new Deda bars somewhere in here :-)

    Orbit CX Build Thread

    some progress with components - after a bit of deliberation this is going to be more restomod than renovation and a black and red theme is emerging at the same time. I few false starts with tyres that were never going to fit and a little wrestling with seat post sizing, I am now going...

    thx, wheelset is from bankrupt bikeparts, not sure of the provenance - they appear to be NOS handbuilt with eclectic spoke lacing forced by the rim drilling (I doubt that pattern is from a high volume factory) - I chose for the O.L.D. rear hub spacing and deep profile black rims - they aren't...
