Hi there,
I've been lurking around here for a little while now and since I got a new frame I'm building up I thought it was a good time to finally make a thread on here.
I bought a Tokyo Fixed S2 frame from the Classifieds section here on LFGSS. I've been riding fixed for a couple of years and since I got a bike with a fairly light ratio for day to day commuting and riding to school and work, I wanted to also build a bike for long distance riding and finally go clipless.
Finding a bike in my size wasn't easy so I'm glad I found this one.
Pics of my commuter:
Colnago Street carbon forks:
It's a Volume Cutter frame I rattlecanned fluoro yellow. It's heavy but certainly fun to ride around town.
Now the 'new' bike:
Stripped a bit of the paint of the Deda Piega Compacts:
Enough clearance for 28s
Don't mind the wheelset and tyres. These are going on the Volume.
Setup is going to be:
Tange headset
SR 90mm stem
Suntour Superbe Pro crankset
50x18 ratio
Time Atac carbon pedals
Deda Piega Compacts
Fizik Arione saddle
Thomson inline seatpost
Mavic Open Pro CD to Miche Primato hubs
Got these the other day:
It's going to be my first time clipless. Bought Time Atac pedals because I read a lot of good things about them on here.
Bought these dirt cheap second hand to match the pedals:
Installed some new cleats and set them on the 17 degree angle.
Hopefully tomorrow the Suntour Superbe Pro crankset will arive, So I'll keep you guys updated.
