The rims are Mavic OR10s and the hubs are Pellisier 2000s. Most of the components in the present set-up are gold anodized, since gold goes so well with the "Rivendell bue" as this color was known then. I don't normally go for anodizing on parts, but I couldn't resist. Here's a parts breakdown: W

Yes it's the Dia Compe. My greatest regret is not getting more braze-ons for racks, so this was the best solution. I have an actual TA Mafac rack on another bike and I've never had a problem with brake bolts, but I always use a decaleur. On Friday, September 18, 2020 at 12:01:16 AM UTC-4, Eamon

It's a 50. When I was putting the bike together 40 something outer chainrings hadn't quite made an impact and I thought I was being clever by putting a "small" 50 tooth outer on. Stephen Fredette On Thursday, September 17, 2020 at 7:41:25 PM UTC-4, Ash wrote: > > Haven't seen that lighting arra

Haven't seen that lighting arrangement before! I tip my hat every time I see someone actually use a 53t chainring! I won't be able to make any of my bikes move when the chain on such a massive chainring and the smallest cog, unless I standup the whole time :) On Thursday, 17 September 2020 a
