The saddle hardware arrived so I threw some bits on the SETA to check the saddle to bar drop. I thought I might be a bit spicy… and it is.
I did day dream about speedy summer audaxes on the SETA; dusty roads, flappy gilets, sneaking into peoples back gardens in the middle of nowhere to fill up your water bottle from the outside tap, that kinda thing. But putting drops and brakes on it for one or two rides a year seems a bit pointless. Although I do have some carbon TRP levers in the parts bin that would work pretty well. We’ll see…
For now, I’m going to build it up as pictured and then swap the stem and bars out for silver Nitto parts. Then I’ll eventually relace the hubs onto some TB14’s. This way, if the urge to put drops and brakes on becomes too much, I can find some silver Nitto bars so everything stays matchey-matchey and the silver rims will stay looking fresher for longer than anodised ones.
