Right folks, not sure any of you are particularly interested but I thought I'd give an update on where I am with the new bike....
Frame: 2015 Croix De Fer Stainless
Wheels: Pacenti SL23 on Novatec Hubs with Sapim Strong Spokes.
- Planning on running them tubeless with the Schwalbe 1 set up, I think
- Decided against the Dyno Hub for now as I am happy with the Vision 1 light set up.
- Getting them built as the Cycle Clinic give a cracking Guarantee
Headset: Hope Threadless
- Decided to go with the hope and forego the FSA one that came with the bike. Do it once do it right and all that.
Bottom Bracket: Hope PF41 - Again spend the extra and hopefully get it right first time
Groupset:Shimano 105 5800 11 Speed
Brakes: TRP HYRD courtesy of a cracking deal with OD (OTP)
Saddle: yet to be decided but I got a loan of a Brooks Cambium C17 Carved which feels good on the commute and will get a longer run out this weekend.
Mudguards: Velo Orange Hammered, Gile Berthoud Stainless or PDW Full Metal fenders all under consideration at the moment.
Bars, seatpost and other finishing items to be decided yet but I feel like the bigger decisions are made. The wheels will be done in about 3 weeks so hopefully I might be able to break the bike out for the Flitch bikes ride.....would it be wrong to ride PBP on a new bike
