I picked up @Sparky All City Big Block just after New Year and I've slowly been collecting bits for it. I thought i'd start a build thread as it's possible i finish it fairly soon. This is also my first proper build.
Frame is lush. I bought it for the colour, but it also has some lovely features like the drop outs. Also, Sparky barely rode it.
Bits i have so far;
Miche Advanced Crankset
Fuji wheelset
BLB track pedals & restraps
San Marco saddle
Bits i want;
Thomson 27.2 seatpost layback.
Bits i'm not sure about:
Tyres - The frame takes up to 32c, so i'm thinking some 28c Gatorskins or something like a Panaracer Gravelking. I want to be able to hit the tow paths and bridleways without having to worry.
Cockpit - Not sure whether to run drops or wideish risers. I'm thinking starting out with risers and seeing how i get on.
