Ash asked for my build details. In May I built it up, and it got most of its build hand-me-down style from a Black Mountain Road. Here is a link to the thread I initiated when it was new. There's a pretty good build-list description in that thread dated May 24:
LEO thread <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/rbw-owners-bunch/leo$20roadini$20build%7Csort:date/rbw-owners-bunch/k2eqH5nf7Ik/Z_hOc3pWBwAJ> Since that time, some changes have happened. The Rene Herse crankset and Ti H2O cages got pulled for a new Frenchie rando-build that is forthcoming. Leo has been running a White Industries VBC crankset for a couple months. Last night I pulled the White Industries crankset off, and installed a Ritchey Logic 94bcd crankset in its place. I also swapped the wheelset out. The wide-rimmed HED wheelset that was on there will be going to a different bike that will run 35-38mm tires. I've put a skinny-rimmed Ritchey wheelset onto Leo because I'm running 30mm tires, and may go down to 28mm tires with fenders. Albastaches are coming, and I'm also thinking about 'downgrading' to 9-speed. It's in flux!
