Obligatory mood board for the road-fixed build - and some photos of how the project bike in question is currently looking.
I’m hoping cycling fixed in the lanes is going to imbue me with a sense of sophistication that im just lacking in all other areas of my life. I also believe I will be humbled on multiple levels, at multiple times.
Currently, the tool roll and bar bag that Dan made me for the other bike that is currently broken, are going some way to making this silly ultra-cool #brakele$$ 49/17 build look like it’s going in the right direction.
I’ve got some drop bars with a dummy Cane Creek lever and a SRAM S500 lever coming in the post. Then gotta collect a 19t cog, a pair of King Cage USBs, and a front Musguard thing from around town in the next few days, then it’ll be pretty much done and ready for some longer distance riding. Although I’m fairly sure the 130mm stem that I’ve paired with risers here is going to be too long when it comes to drops with hoods, so I’m probably going to need to get something in the 100/110 range but I guess I’ll try that out first.
Till next time
