I've removed logos and decals from wheels, brakes, saddle and stem.
Just waiting for headset and RD before getting the frame chased and faced and cabled.
Bar tape I'm thinking Newbaums padded in black?
Saddle is a Bontrager Aeolus which isn't the coolest thing in the world. I usually would use a Flite Ti but as this bike is (hopefully) going to be used for 100km+ rides it makes sense to be more sensible and take an aesthetic hit.
Tyres on the second hand wheels I bought are Gravelking SK tanwalls in 35mm set up choobless. I chose 700c as the price on the wheels was too good to pass up; 650b would have been nice though. I'm thinking of replacing them with some Rene Herse Bon Jon Pass in black/black.
Chainring is a FOUL raceface narrow/wide 40t, I'll see how I like that size then might get something a bit more lowkey.
Once it's ridable I'll start working on bags and things like that.
