N+1
Singular Peregrine:
BB7 brakes, LX17 rims, XT rear, Schmidt front hubs, Marathon Winter tyres (for the time being), B17, Bagman QR, On-One Midge bars, XT rear mech, 105 front mech, 8-sp 11-30, 48/38/24 Impact, Berthoud mudguards.
To do:
trim steerer to length, rear mudguard light
Initial comment on the frame:
a) the cable stop for the front mech is too far underneath the eccentric BB shell, so the cable drags across the paint.
b) The seat tube is slightly oversize for the advertised 27.2 post (i.e. the post drops if you let go of it, even with no saddle.
c) The supplied seatpost binder was too long, so "tight" was tight enough to sit on, but not tight enough to hold against a bump. Spiky tyres chew through a Carradice remarkably quickly
. The inner bolt had run up hard against the sleeve. A rummage in the bits box found a shorter bolt, but a couple more washers would have done.
