  • Also starting to form some thoughts about a bike @Hulsroy will be building for this year's Bespoked maybe?

    Best description would probably be a randallroad bike, 35mm + guards or 42mm for the grav.

    Steel frame and fork
    SON sillyness
    105 Di2 groupset
    probably mostly Thomson hardware
    Honjo guards.
    Tasteful mix of black and silver?
    I might even put one or two bags on it.

    The main question at this point is the cranks, ideally they'd be 46/30, definitely 170mm length, I wouldn't hate squaper cranks but I generally find the retro look a bit challenging. The frontrunner at this point is Easton EA90s I think, there's those IRDs @Tijs has, but I feel like it'd be a bit too retro with the Di2.

  • Middleburn I think are nicest, there is a 94BCD spider for the R02, they also sell chainrings to go with. I’m very happy with my rotors which are a more modern look, using a direct mount 46/ 30.

  • Sugino OX2-901D with some nicer chainrings and the logo removed? Outer chainring can be a bit of a hassle to replace.

  • Keeping on with the black/silver/modern theme, how about some White industries sub-compact?

  • EA90s can look real nice when polished

    I’m guessing Ingrid is too spendy? Perhaps a bag swap :)

    Appleman is the wildcard.
