you should, it's great.

One day

When I stop finding/compiling cheap mechanical groupsets

Anybody happen to have a Fulcrum disc brake rear wheel spare?

genuine question, what does the CAAD12 disc do that this doesn't? Sell that and get nicer brakes for this?

Yeah nothing, it’s just nicer, lighter and a bit more “race” geo. That and I have the space so why not both. Do want a nice bike, don’t want red22 on the commuter

Realistically I could get rid of both caads, 7 and 12 and get one nice carbon Sunday bike...

Might be interested if you do ever sell the 7.

The 7 could be your nice Sunday bike though?

plastic hoods , SR shiters, 27,2 SR Seatpost and gooooo

Need to find a Pro Vibe 130mm

same here..
lookin good btw

so started with a very beat up Voodoo. Was taking it apart and found the seat post was stuck. I tried everything. Finally I resorted to dissolving the post with NaOH. Worked a charm.

Plan is to rigid single speed. Got a fork from Nashbar for $44. Replaced the seat post for $17. Went to town on the frame with a grinder and some sandpaper.

here is how she stands.

Next is to work out cranks, brakes and paint. Paint I can handle easily. It's finding good brakes and cranks on the cheap thats causing me trouble.

Why the grinding?

To remove the braze ons. its staying single speed. I like it clean looking and nothing about this frame is sacred. The white areas are simply sanded to prep the surface for painting.

Are the rear brake cable braze ons still intact out of shot?

Nope. Plan to run continuous housing to linear brakes.

I like that painting in the back ground ;)
Looking like a cool project btw. The kind I appreciate mostly.

Dodgy pick up line.

This upgrade from 26" to 650B is going to make all the difference amirite

Remarkable, the likeness is uncanny
