Thanks for the kind words everybody and good luck with the sale @LeBlaireau. A few more photos in the light for @remrak:

While I'm at it, the fixed road PDM Concorde in a temporary state having stolen parts from most of the other bikes:

Bought cheap because of this dent:

And the pile of framesets waiting to be worked on:

The Cannondale is in a pretty good place — and has been around the forums once or twice from what I can tell — and the Dolan is gonna be sold so I think next is the Giant TCX which I have a pair of TRP Revox Carbon waiting for.

Very cool bike @loc

Did you end up with different brake callipers because of the different distance between the mounts in the front and rear? Or just because you used what you already have? I kind a like this imperfection

It's not the mount separation, it's the radial distance of the mounts from the axle. Cantis and Vs have the boss inboard of the brake track, the U brake has them outboard.

Thanks! This generation of Karakoram has a u-brake rear rather than canti mounts, something that I only figured out after splashing out on two sets of paul cantis ... I ended up with the Odyssey Evo 2.5 because of the 2.5" clearance and they're actually pretty great at stopping you.

EDIT: what @mdcc_tester said!
