Hey Michael, Totally understand wanting to have at least 2 bikes even if they are largely duplicative....if they are both drop bar Riv's you can always do one 'heavy' and one 'light' build. I've found that I do appreciate getting on a bike w/ a minimum of extra stuff hanging off of it some times. Then again a bike w/out a basket is definitely less useful! :) it's also great that you are zeroing in on having two bikes that are perfect from a size perspective. As I had been riding that to large Atlantis all fall I was definitely torn between moving on and keeping a great looking bike.
Unless you're dead set on a completely new build I'd transfer over the parts from your 55cm Bleriot and sell it F/F/HS only... simplifies the transaction if there is shipping involved and you'll never recoup the replacement cost on the components. That way you'd just need to swap the cockpit, levers and maybe shifters... When I get the Saluki shipped it is coming with a spare Noodle cockpit, it may end up as surplus (or might go on the tandem). But I'll keep you posted either way Tony On Mon, Mar 3, 2014 at 12:02 PM, Michael <john11.2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Tony, >> > > It is a +1 because I sold my Giant Defy bike, and am selling my 55 Alba > Bleriot, which leaves me at only having the Sam left to ride. > > So I am hoping to build it up as a Noodle drop, bar end, triple cranked > bike, much like the Sam. > > Any ideas for an affordable build to get it riding?
