Thanks, William. Those are Velo-Orange Grand Cru brakes on my Roadeo, but I'm in the process of making all my bikes VO-free Zones, so Velo Cult is ordering me some Paul's Racer M's (center-mount since I don't have the braze-ons) to run instead. Those will go on the bike along with the "new" Classic Silver bars, stem, and post by Ritchey in the next week or two. I also sent off a twin of the Dura Ace 7800 cranks to Tom Davis at www.perfectperforations.com to have them polished up nice and silver. So the whole shiny silver treatment, and "final" set- up of the bike will be done soon. Once it is, I'll post a slideshow of all the images. It's a great bike, to be sure!
I'm planning to wear my Woolistic Velo Cult jersey at my 300km this Saturday, unless it's predicted to be well into the 80s, in which case I will wear a Rough Riders: Any Bike, Anywhere jersey with a thin Ibex wool base layer. I hope to see some other Rivendell riders out there. - Chris Kostman La Jolla, CA http://www.XO-1.org On Jan 25, 4:24 pm, William <tapebu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Looks great, Chris.
