So heres one thats been sitting for a while. I traded an old pair of mavic cosmic wheels for this frame for my other half. A sweet little 51x51 Dutch cross bike, in Columbus Genius tubes. Straight up cross bike - no mudguard eyelets, no holes in the bridges or crown, top of toptube cable stops, pretty neat.
Plans:
1x10 cross bike with kojaks for faster day rides on mostly road, some gravel. Sram force crankset, 42t nw, 11-32, x9 short rear mech, deda piega 26.0 compact bars, tektro mini V, and cheapo but very durable/ servicable shimano r501 wheelset.
The initial idea was risers, but since her Basso tourer/ commuter has got a similar cockpit, drops are beginning to seem more suitable.
Cheers @dragonflyblu , looks better dirty ;)
