Hello folks, first post here in a long time...
-- Classic geo titanium frame/1in forks (looks custom built (not by me unfortunately, bought on ebay a few years back...not sure how much, could track down though if anybody interested
).
-- Cinelli Alter accumulated by me....I do like these skeleton stems...some seem worth a few bob now...
-- Ultegra 10 speed group (short derailleur) in great condition.
-- Shimano 105 headset...not one problem...ever, on multiple builds.
-- Dura-Ace down tube shifters....dump all shifts into one, trim niggles, what's not to like?
-- Dura-Ace 9700 bottom bracket, fully serviceable, never had a problem...
-- Campagnolo Fulcrum 5 wheels with decals removed, Shimano compatible hub (keep the tick, no bell required on commutes...).
-- Brooks Swift, breaking in nicely.
-- Schwalbe CX Comp 700 x 30c, for next to no cheddar...great on and off road, why pay any more?
-- Cheap as frame bag and bidon substitute!
All in a very nice build completed by me for touring duties...love the clean, retro look. No new geo, electrics for me (not yet at least). For touring keep it simple stupid!
All comments welcome. Others here have done similar surely?
Kindest regards....Lee.
