At the beginning of the year I started a Bicycle Quarterly subscription and after a few pages knew I'd have to build something rannondeur-esque. I'm selling two bikes that don't get ridden much and hoping to build this which will hopefully be ridden a lot more. This all means I've ended up with 3 steel bikes which is quite a nice thought.
I opted for 650b as it allows chunky MTB tyres to be fitted, opening up another type of riding and of course enough clearance to accommodate guards with a slimmer road focused tread. I collected the wheels today from London Fields Cycles who were great, so thought I'd start a project thread.
Now I just need to pick up a groupset but undecided between Shimano 105 5700 (10spd) or 5800 (11spd) and decide on 1 x 10/11 V's the more conventional double chainring route.
Any suggestions or advice are more than welcome.
