So, I am currently amassing parts for my first single-speed road bike.
Here's the theoretical spec:
FRAME - On One Il Pompino XL (57cm) FORK - 3T Funda Carbon RIMS - Velocity Deep V (OWN) HUBS - Miche or Surly SPOKES - DT Swiss TYRES - Continental ??? CRANKSET - Miche Pista PEDALS - Burgtec Penthouse Flats (OWN) SADDLE - SDG Bel-Air RL (Titanium rails, Tiger print) (OWN) SEATPOST - Thomson Elite 27.2 x 410mm STEM - Thomson Elite X4 100mm x 0* BARS - ??? 46cm BRAKES - Shimano XTR BR-M960 Rear V-Brake (OWN) HEADSET - CHRIS KING NoThreadSet 1 1/8th (OWN) SEAT CLAMP - Woodman Deathgrip 29.8mm BAR TAPE - ??? CHAIN - KMC Devil D101
Now, questions:
Does anyone have an XL Pompino in BLUE which they want to sell me?
Which are the better hubs, Miche or Surly? I'm looking for strength. Anything else I should consider?
What length crankset should I be looking at getting?
What are some good, strong, Over-sized handlebars? Was looking at Deda Zero's, but they're a bit pricey and can't find any second hand.
Any other suggestions/changes to spec? I want a bomb-proof SS road bike that's still going to be fast as hell. I'm 6ft4 and 95kg if that makes any difference to anything.
