Same frame - different components - such cross

Slack chain.

And couldn't get the placement of the dropout correct - they'll be 50mm, making both a 23c and 35c wheel slam that ST for extra mud sample collection for future study of ground components on Mother Earth.

ST angle's 74?

St 73.5, ht 74.

perhaps a 74 ST to give slightly more clearance?

The 50mm dropout accomodate lots of lots - the mock up graphic isn't right :]

Somewhat dictated by the toe-overlap, I had to make the top tube 10mm longer - other changes are a 20mm longer ST, 1cm less spacer stack and 4mm more BB-drop.

which fork are you going for that's 390mm? generally I see CX fork around 395mm.

Musse listen to Ed. Choose Cx forks

To get the trail somewhat right with a 74 degree HT, i've been looking for a 45mm rake cantilever fork. The Surly Cross-check offers 44mm, but the a-c 400mm will make a gaping hole above the tyre on an übertight SSCX, so I settled on the Columbus Tusk Trekking fork which have the beautiful and unorthodox 390mm a-c and 45mm rake. If the shoe fits, wear it.

One important thing I've found with my old SSCX bike is that the rear canti mount sit a tiny bit too high, I can't set the rear wheel further away as the brake blocks on the cantilever will hit the tyres instead.

I remedy the problem by using a different cantilever brakes that have more drop (lower down), but it's something that's worth taking in consideration, a really long drop out might limited the amount of drop adjustment on the brakes.

Greatly appreciated!

Wonderful picture

Thues TRP are highly adjustable.

crosspost from the max thread. My rych is looking like this:

Baking hot weather, time to fit mudguards to the winter bike.

Can you not get mudguard down the seattube? Looks like space!

Your ankles will thank you! So will your chain!

It's those raceblade, but like, longer.

Just got back from a 3 week tour and caught the bug again after being off the bike for a year.

This is finally getting built up, as bargain basement as possible.

Italian BB(?) and does anyone know what seat post it'll need? It's a spiral conic

Finally got some proper snaps!

I can but it makes getting the wheel out impossible. Its quite a long dropout so the wheel already squeezes against the fd band. Better than raceblades! Also means that I could have it much lower down at the back, its all about thinking of others you see.

Nice Cannondale. Silver bartape?
