Make it in Massachusetts: Indy Fab, Fat Chance, Spooky, Seven, Royal H, Peter Mooney, & Geekhouse

Did you do this and I missed it? If not, and you can find the time, it sounds like an interesting story.

Not yet, I’ve been busy and I’m currently a little bit grumpy with Toby at Hot Tubes, but now have some extra time on my hands I may get around to it.

No Chapman :(.

Sad times.

Excellent. Not meaning to hurry you, life happens, just encouragement.

Obviously the rest of this thread is superb

First coat of turtlewax down, I’ll add another tomorrow. Hopefully by Tuesday there will be a headset and bb here to begin the build in earnest.

Never noticed this before on their BBs! It says “thanks for riding our stuff.”

Wow those WI parts are nice

One of my favorite tartans. Digging the colors in this board.

Topo did a flannel in it this year, and it’s gotten constant compliments from strangers.

Lots of ti m5 bolts for cages and empty rack holes.

The rack mounts need to be tapped, they are full of paint.

Really nice components and bikes in here, that gunnar is going to be good. what saddle post and stem are those?

Post and stem are Ti cycles. Post is made in US, I think the stem might be imported? Anywho the stem is probably going to go back to be swapped for a shorter length, hence the other stem in the picture.

The saddle is a C13 in the medium width.

Was going to be a a 11 speed Record mated with a 10-42 Sram X01 cassette. But due to some confusion on what was in my spares box I have the wrong XDR driver for my wheels. The 11-46 SLX cassette in the picture is just too big for the derailleurs chain wrap.

So options:

• new freehub body:$170
  
• 11-40 XT cassette: $95
  
• R8000 group I already own: free
  

Big things coming…

If I can find the matching cassette to these fellas I guess the Gunnar is going Ultegra.

Very cool. A good friend did their finishing work and ano for a while. If you remember the bubble ano, and others around that time. That was him.

Jesus wept, will not be riding today…

Any chance you’ll get this much snow again? Bike path to Watertown, and Brookline during the snow related travel ban 6ish yrs ago.

That’s Tuesday around here.

Was it as bad as I’ve read? I saw that Mt Washington was -108f with windchill. Like holy shit.

It actually ended up way worse than that, it was something like 4 snow storms in a row? Looks like those pictures are from the first storm that dumped 2 feet of snow. Total accumulation was over 100 inches. They were dumping snow in the harbor, and the snow piles at MIT weren’t gone till June.
