  • Looking forward to build this pretty bike with some pretty parts :) Need your help! :)

    Headset: Tange Levin NJS
    Cockpit: Nitto Jaguar 90mm + Nitto Dropbars
    Seatpost: No Idea. Do also need a seatpostpin/screw (how's that thing called? haha)
    Saddle: San Marco Concor Supercorsa
    Wheels: Phil Wood HF Hub(s) (singlefixed) + Rigida Chrina (silver polished): what spokes do I need? What lenght? :(
    Cranks: No Idea.
    Pedals: MKS Track + MKS Toe Clips

  • if you know how to build wheels, you must know how to get the spoke lengths needed. if not, let the shop worry about that.

    leonard.io/edd is a good place to start - you might get lucky and find the hubs/rims in the database. if not, use a calculator that has a guide on what to measure.

    why not go with nitto for the full finishing kit and a sugino 75 direct drive chainset for max hhsb points? :)

  • I forgot to say, it's gonna be more of a budget build ;)
    The sugino 75 is just to much $$$

  • Nice looking frame. If it's a budget build I'd say Phil Wood hubs are a bit of an extravagance though, especially if it means compromising on your crankset.

    Personally I think it'd look good with black parts, otherwise you'll be silver'd off your tits. H+Son TB14's or Open Pro's on some reasonably priced hubs.

  • I know, just had the hubs left from my previous build ;)

    Dunno. I kinda like it when it's all silver with some black parts, like here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/presskind/sets/72157632795246095/

  • There is also Kinlin ADHN if budget won't stretch to TB14s. They aren't much more than the Chrinas but are a much shinier. I'd get ACI double butted spokes from cyclebasket. Use an online calculator to get the length and double check in the wheelbuilding thread.

    You look like you have a lot of steerer showing in that picture btw.

  • I do really like the TB14s. Awesome rims. But the Chrinas will cost me about 20€ per rim, the TB14s cost about 60€ per rim in GER and the Open Pros about 50€ per rim.

  • You've been right guys. I think the PW hubs are just to much for this build ;) I'll sell them and will buy the Kinlin ADHNs (thanks @root). Any ideas for new hubs?

  • Id get some shiney silver novatec hubs to match the rims.

  • New update: old cranks. campagnolo pista 170mm.
