Been a while since I've been here, the artist formerly known as Chug_It, brother of the infamous AFDS..
I'm building a Neutrino up having wanted to downsize from my AWOL that served me extremely well over the last few years.
Frame was bought new, as were the hubs and a couple of bits. Everything else has been sourced from eBay and the plan is complete the bike from eBay / second-hand / As New alone. I'm going for overbuilt but light which might be an oxymoron.
Really enjoying building this up, including getting back to the basics of wheel building. Really chuffed.

Just back from a week cruising around Roscoff. I'm yet to put a rack onto this, but the old Blackburn frame bag fits to within an inch and is perfect. Have heard about heel strike being an issue depending on crank/rear end length so might stick to my Outpost seat pack, and put a pizza rack and anything cages up front. Really chuffed with how this rides, just a lot of fun I guess and a few French old boys came over to have a look and a chat. Love how much they appreciate cycling over there
