Weight Weenie Hip Hop Aspirations

Yeah that's probably fair... I must see what the difference would be between 2x10 on my Koga Miyata and 1x12 though, might be close enough to no real big difference?

How's Ontario also! We're coming to Toronto in August 2023 for a family wedding if you'll still be there then to finally get in a mountain bike spin? :)

I forgot about 1x12! I guess that that might make it feasible.

Hope to still be here (pending more tunnels) so that would be awesome.

No idea aboutthe consensus. Somehow i feel 10 speed shifters anf their boxy shape are a bit more HH, Force white graphics blending more easily than red in a logo-dense build. Discuss.

I rode force and red 10 speed for a few years but I felt that red 22 was just a bit more refined and felt better and imo looked fancier. The red 22 pre etap cranks are the best looking for me

Agreed on the colour sympathy of Force unless the red works with the build... can the 10sp shifters be upgraded to 12sp or am I getting muddled?

@PhilDAS the Red22 I had previously was a joy to shift on so I'm only tentatively doing my toe in the Force water for the moment...

11sp Rival/Force shifting, 10sp Red cranks and brakes, that's the real deal

Bump

I sort of just want a Spooky Skeletor frame and these were originally welded by Frank The Welder so that's what's really making the most sense

Well, originally they were welded by SAPA, then Cantabrigian Mechanics, then by Frank The Welder.

PS I owned the last one pictured, not as pictured, but bought it from that owner.

I absolutely love that build! I've not gotten around to doing any more about this but I think a Frank The Welder build will be the way to go...
