Decided on a more modern build than what the frame originally came with. I had a bunch of stuff in the parts bin which drove this, as well as the fact that I will probably ride it more with a slightly newer groupset.
The parts i had that were earmarked for this bike are as follows.
White industries vbc cranks and Phil wood bottom bracket.
GB 40mm fenders.
Grand Bois 30mm extra light tyres.
The frame was originally for 27inch wheels so 700c 30 with fenders should work nicely.
Velo orange front rack that I picked up second hand that had been modified by kumo cycles to mount a dynamo light.
Schmidt son edelux front light.
son 28 hub laced to h plus son archetype rim. I also had a spare archetype rim so just needed to find a rear hub.
ultegra ten speed shifters.
7800 ten speed dura ace derailleurs.
UBI stem that I liked the angle of but really wasn't a fan of the finish. So I found this stem that I thought could be like a poor man's Rene herse.
