• Cranks and BB are ordered. Turns out the good old Shimano BB-UN55 has been discontinued and it wasn't that easy to find somebody who stocks the size I need.

    While I am waiting for the cranks to arrive I tried something again.
    In the very beginning of this project I tied to squeeze in these massive 650bx48 wheels. There was no chance they would fit. I actually haven't tried that again with the new forks and chainstays. There is quite some space left at the moment.

    Et Voila, turns out the chonky boys fit in well in the front and are tight but not unrideable in the back. I measured some real world widths and these black Kenda tyres actually come out at about 52mm rather than 48mm. So I assume some 47.99mm tyres should be okay ¯_(ツ)_/¯
    Looks really badass in my opinion.
