You know those has-been celebrities who have a tonne of plastic surgery to make themselves look hot again but they end up just looking a bit wonky and wrong? That.

Did it happen?
Yes! Everything went perfect and the bike is now for sale. Inform with Amey about the details.

Read it. It's totally worth it. Then order some stickers when you're done

Amey is influencer confirmed

It happened, it's good, rides fine, bit heavy but that's okay.
Two regrets; getting a braze on (can't go sub compact 46/30) and not getting midfork eyelets .. I'll take it back to Winston at some point for this.
Also made this thread into my current projects, the 520 is the beater.
Overall update: gold bike is getting rival 1 hydro, canyon will be with me end of march-ish (got R8070 and hunt wheels for that), decided to keep the moots for now; we'll see, destroyed bearings on China O.P.E.N. so need to take it to a shop to replace those (SKF).

One cannot just simply sum this thread up in "take-aways" it must be lived to truly understand.

I CBA filtering though 100 pages of coded chat, but @amey ’s description on page one is pretty much what I want to build. Did it happen? Is it now a Trek 520? What are the take-aways?
