Originally bought this Shorter frame for Slavery - magic gear, risers, deep rims etc, got as far as fitting record headset and primato BB and suddenly developed a fetish for super clean old-school TT bikes with box-rims/silk tubs etc.... Finished the build in May and have been riding it every day since - great fun and surprisingly comfortable - Tubs at 170psi & suntour superbe hubs means it just rolls and rolls! the rainy daily commute has been made all the more enjoyable as a result. Runnning a rolls saddle on it now, but otherwise unchanged.
