  • That look like a nice combination, my opinion is to go for the grey TB14, which would look apt with the skinny tyres.

    From the look of it, you can't go any bigger than 23? if so, the TB14/Archetype would be better suited due to allowing slightly more clearance (tyre sit lower), and more comfort (lower pressure).

  • Yeah, I'm leaning toward the tb14 - I've got a pair of Archetypes (that would build a lighter/stiffer wheelset that can be 'shared' with my other bike) in the shed waiting but they are just slightly mismatched in colour, one is more brown-grey than the green-grey of the other... was aiming for something like this -

    The frame has plenty clearance for 28mm tyres but I could only just get 25mm paves under the PDW on 23mm wide rims on another build so that will be the limiting factor...

    Long term I'm still on the lookout for a 110mm pro chrome/ti quill stem and 27.2 ti seatpost to match the PDW, silver threaded CK hs...

    I'm tempted to use some carbon Force levers and black callipers to keep a similar vibe going
