Thanks, really happy with it.
Yes, Cdale called it anthracite, comes close to iceland green irl.
Shite WIP pic.
Gave the paint a quick onceover with a clay bar some time after.
Not what you're after for a lock-up .
It's a slippery slope leading to brass Honjos I'm afraid.Stem on the t700 is 80° SimWorks by Nitto (CR-77).
Based on 'Ritchey force' Nitto also produced.
Their UI-80 is quite nice if you're particular about the angle.Yes, Canti/V-Brake spacing crept upwards over the years.
Playing around with the spacers and Thinline pads should do the trick.
Post a pic of it in CP?

Ooff been off for too long
Awesome @samdaniel @gertrudestein @Jay75 @hma
@gertrudestein is that a dark grey on the st? Looks great. Also, whats the (0 deg?) stem on the t700? 🤤
On another note i have been struggling with me ghetto gravel project lately
Every bolt that i want to use does not fit etc. and now i had to realise that my initial thought „anframe with canti studs can alsways be used for cantis and v brakes“ is wrong.
The clearance on both the seat stays and the fork blades is so narrow that the brakepads delivered with the vbrakes do not fit
I now have ordered some slimmer cool stops hoping that they solve this because if i have to go back to cantis, i might abandon this project 🙄
I also dremel‘d the GRX chainring quite a bit to make it fit to the 105 cranks
