Unfortunately, I've not even started. I've been told that the cranks should arrive this week, but haven't received any confirmation yet.
Wheels also ended up being a bit of a pain in the ass. I wanted h+son tb14s with Gran Compe Hubs, however the hubs seem to be available nowhere. So after lots of back and forth I've ended up with Open Pro CDs with Halo Track Hubs, which should arrive this week.
So, I still need to order cockpit and a couple of bits and pieces. Also need to find someone to install a headset.
Don't know about forum drinks, how many are we even here? Jay told me he used to live here, but now lives in London, so he was just here for a few days. That takes us to a grand total of 2 who are in Berlin so far :)
Those rides definitely sound interesting, I would be slightly worried about my conditioning though. I usually just use my bike for transporation and sometimes go on slightly longer rides (25-30k). My current bike also has risers which absolutely destroy my wrists, which also is a limiting factor in how far it's fun to ride. So I'm not really used to going on long rides.
Would you be riding fixed?
