Sooooo here it goes. Long time lurker (4-5 years) seldom poster decided to start a more "advanced" project. The reason is as usual to try and create the one bike that does it all. In order to achieve N=1 | N-3 has to be done. Here is my starting point with a rather radical plan of action. Note that it will be more of a slow burner.
I ordered a custom 1" a-head steel fork from Mr. Orlowski with lowrider and disc brake mounts
I just bought some used Shimano SL 6400 downtube shifters
A pair of TRP Spyres are on their way as well
The frame needs to be prepared for disk brakes
Mudguards
A Bell
Dynamo lighting
A new wheel set (suggestions are welcome currently thinking of XT Dynamo plus fitting rear)
Tubus Tara low rider
A lot more small stuff
The bike will be used for commuting and the odd tour of light randonneuring. As you can see the build process is as equally important as riding the final bike itself.
