Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Not much to post so far so, but parts have started to show up, though some of the pricier items will need to wait until I have the cash or come across deals.

So far it's going to be:

• XL Pompetamine - White, but I don't like the gold logos. They're under the clear and I don't want to pay for a blast/powder so have a few ideas of ways to address the issue. Also have one of the sweet metal headtube badges for it.
  
• Hope headset (got)
  
• Hope seat clamp
  
• Thomson post (got)
  
• Thomson stem (got)
  
• Midge bars (got)
  
• Specialized Romin (got)
  
• Truvativ Stylo cranks (borrowed from my MTB)
  
• Alfine 8 / Mavic TN 319 rim
  
• XT front hub / Mavic TN 319 rim
  
• JTek bar end shifter
  
• BB5 Road calipers (got)
  
• SRAM 500 brake levers
  
• Look Quartz pedals
  
• VO hammered mudguards (painted)
  
  

I have some Easton EA70 wheels kicking about that aren't in use. I'm thinking that I could stick some cross tyres on them and use spacers and a cassette cog to run it single speed while I wait for a good deal on the Alfine/shifter.

I should have some progress pictures to post in the next week or so I'm hoping.

I would go with MTB BB5 calipers, and drop bar, v-brake levers. Once you've taken the shifting out of the levers, why go with road pull?
