Hi Kellie, I built up a 50cm one for myself (78 PBH). I echo lots of the comments here on how the bike rides and handles. Some specific experiences with the build for me:
- The Nitto Noodle - Shimano BR-400 combo which many people go with didn't work for me. I preferred the shorter reach of the Soma Highway One and the fatter hoods of the Tektro Ergo Brake levers - thanks to reading the discussions on this board! - since I tend to hold on to the handlebar-hood transition area or keep my hands on top of the hoods. - Thumbs up to the Velocity A23 wheels (with rear offset dish) and Shimano 105 hubs (32 spokes) which Rich builds. I'm 220 lbs and the wheels have zero issues, and I'm freewheeling past other people pedaling on flat areas in the city. - I tried to fit a 38mm Panaracer Pasela TG and though it cleared the fork/frame I had issues with the front Shimano calipers. I rode with a 32mm Pasela and was unhappy with the vibrations and the ride. I bit the bullet and ordered a set of 32mm Compass Stampede Pass. I worry about flat protection but, omg, I love these tires. So, so very supple. One caution: be prepared for people giving you compliments on your "classic" bike... --Ed C.
