I didn't have too much space, both financially and literally, when I won the frame this summer. But I do now, she's currently on my couch but as soon as I have some bike hangers on my wall the real building will commence. The frame came with a headset and bottom bracket, the parts I have now:
Frame + Fork
Hatta Swan Super Deluxe Headset
Hatta R9400 BB
Sugino 75 cranks (165 mm) with a 49t Sugino 75 chainring
Izumi V Super Toughness chain
186t Dura Ace cog and Dura Ace lockring
110 mm Nitto Jaguar stem with 38cm Nitto B123 bars with black Soyo Grips
Nitto SP72 Jaguar Seatpost
Five Gold top-tube protector
MKS NJS Chain Tugs
36h Dura Ace front hub
So that leaves a pretty short list of things I need:
Saddle
Wheels
Pedals
Saddle will be a Kashima Five Gold saddle, which I should be able to buy locally new, not sure yet, though.
But I'm not too sure about the wheels, because I'm not too sure what I'll be using the bike for. If I'll be solely using it as a track bike, I'll get a wheelset from NJS-export with a Araya Gold and Soyo tubes. But if I'd want to use it for street racing I'd buy a Dura Ace rear hub and lace them to high-polished TB14's with Pasela Tourguards or something similar, gum-wall-wise.
I'm currently buying a "regular" road bike too, and I'll let the pedal choice depend on the pedals I'll buy with it. But I'm sure it will be clipless.
Most of the parts sourced from the lovely guys on forum64! Thanks V-L, Dick, giles337, jimjamosullivan and all the people I've bothered with offers. :)
