I won't repaint the frame, just touch it up for the time being but it will get some new decals I'm still working on. I will also stick with the XT 770 V's and therefore already acquired some Tektro RL520 levers. So far so good 😃

Luckily I've found an original Ritchey Kalloy post in 26.6, fitted was a too short 26.8 mm. Stem is a no name, maybe the same cheap Taiwanese "Zoom" like the drop bars I've bought. Headset is a Tange Aluminum cartridge, nothing wrong with it.

But the reason I picked it is it's short 56 cm top tube and it's outstanding room for tires. I could easily fit 50 mm tires, these are just 44 mm Compass and because I'm a drop bars guy 🤷‍♂️

Solid Tange Infinity, no boutique 853 Reynolds

It definitely has some paint issues ;) but structurally seems to be fine

So... I've sourced a second Bike-tech Toyo Multicross and the Stevens is history :(:)

Finally the sun came out, back to the other side of les vosges and a piece of Quiche for the final 30 km

Somewhere in the french countryside

Lockmaster's House (one of a dozen) at the abandoned Rhine Marne Channel

Kind of a lake ride near Salzburg. Didn't expect a temperature drop from 27 to 13 degrees 😄 no swimming this time

7 hours odyssey by train to Östria followed by 40 km of cycling to forget the first part 😤

Totally agree. The C's are more like a Turbo. I didn't like it.

That's Jagst valley in Görmany ;)

View into the valley, then 80 km down the river. Lots of apple trees along the way, picked 3 and never felt tired 🍎

Just 20 km along the river to the public pool next town and back. Needed the rear wheel for my touring bike, which I finally rebuilt, so this one sat in the attic for almost a year 😯

Did Shimano ever offer different ones than these and the current versions? Their length is about the same. So they probably had different things in mind than clearance 🤔

the endless black forest gravel roads 👍

Toured through the alpine foreland to Salzburg for 3 days this week. About 300 km and 2000 m in altitude, quite hilly as you’d expect. Past several lakes and clear rivers, which were a welcome occasion to cool down a bit. It was so damned hot, my Wahoo showed 39°, that I had cramps in my upper...

Yes, one of the nicest landscapes I went for riding in this area. Temperature up to 30° but always a breeze.
