Gan well road bike

Posted on
  • Just bought a nice and white Gan Well road frameset.
    Hopefully will be finished by next week or so and having trouble finding bit and bobs.
    Here is the list of the build :
    Frame : Gan Well (believe it's one of the last dropout bike that Mr Doi made before he passed away from cancer)
    Stem & Handlebar : 3T 50th Anniversary Gold
    Tape : Newbaum Cotton bar tape
    Brake Lever : NOS Dura Ace 7400 non-aero
    Headset : Dura Ace 7400
    Cable : Alligator i-link gold
    Brake : Dura Ace 7900
    Bottle Cage : Elite Ciussi Inox Gel
    Crankset : Dura Ace 7900 compact
    Chain : Dura Ace 7900
    Front mech : Dura Ace 7900
    Rear Mech : Dura Ace 7900
    Seatpost : Dura Ace 7400
    Saddle : Kashimax NJS Five Gold 8
    Bottom Bracket : Dura Ace 7900
    Shifters : Downtube Dura Ace 7900 shifters
    Wheelset : Currently Dura Ace C24 but hopefully sell these and get a some Ambrosio Nemesis Chris King R45 wheelset.

    Part I'm desperate to get is the Dura Ace 7400 flat pedals.
    Like thses :

    If anyone has one in good condition please PM
    I will post more pictures through out the build!
    Any recommendation on parts are welcome.

  • Looks like it will be a wonderful build.

    Got several of those pedals ranging from VGC to NOS.

    Let me know which you'd prefer.

    I would be interested in the NOS ones.


  • Build going well..just need to cut the steerer and get the headset lodged in.


  • 3T 50th Anniversary gold handlebar

  • New kashimax fp8/ae saddle

  • Wow.. That's also a lot of dough.. Why no brifters/STI's?

  • The frame was made for down tube shifters and since Shimano makes one might as well build it on that. Trying something different

  • Looks 'blingy'

    Niiiice.

  • The frame was made for down tube shifters

    not necessarily so..

    Trying something different

    but hey, can't argue with that..

    Blingy indeed..

  • Cheers. I've hit a problem. It seems that the fork is a threadless steerer, doesn't this mean that I can't use a quill stem??

  • yes. Which is a good thing. Gold bike parts never look good.

    Haha yes I agree with you but the stem and handlebar combo
    looks oddly nice. Damn it's really odd because the steerer is 1 inch well better look for some adapters

  • It's your build, but I personally would use the full dura ace 7900 groupset instead of using down tube shifters. Just get some downtube cable guides and stick those dura ace 7900 shifters on.
