a few days ago… bridgestone rb-2 that will hopefully be purchased this afternoon
ignore the saddle
specialized hard rock, 1987.
getting some nitto moustache bars in the mail will help jump-start the build.
[quote=grantrules]Frame came today, fuck yes! Except the boss sold the headset I was gonna use. I still need a 7-spd non-shitty freewheel, though. I’m thinking about getting the IRD Defiant 7-spd 13-24. Waiting on my cable housing and bits from one of the distributors who fucked up our order, so it’s not getting here till tomorrow, I think.

I have a 7 speed suntour winner pro freewheel. They are really nice, and seem to pop up on ebay for about $100 bucks, though I dont want to get that much out of it.
[quote=poo-tee-weet?]Heading off to college in a week so this build won’t be finished till some time this winter. On the plus side it should give me enough time to track down the parts for a particular campy group I’ve wanted to put together for far too long now.

how could you leave that at home? bring it to school, build it, ride it!
as far as my next build, uh i have an SLX Rossin Record with Campagnolo Ergo…what next build?
something that takes fenders?

I run xc and track for my college so I’d be too tired to ride most of the time. More importantly I go to college in the middle of no where, with no good routes or places to ride. Kind of a major step down from riding in Philly.
imma rig something up for the rossin. gonna need to if i want to go on any real rides for almost half the year anyway.
edit: xc, word. anyway middle of nowhere sounds good for riding atmo
Sure, if you’re talking about real riding, but I get the idea that he means just riding around.
I suspect that the Gios is wasted on our new friend.
i wouldn’t say that.
Well since it’s sitting at his folks house while he goes to college and not getting ridden at all I would say that yes, it is wasted.
(don’t mind me, I’m just jealous)

I’m down, you can pick me up on the way east.

So you’re saying you know whats going to become of my Gios from the 3 times I’ve posted in the past year? Though in a way you are right, I have 3 more years of xc and track left and I’m not big on cross training during my seasons. I have no doubt that I’m gonna be spending a lot more time on my commuter than this Gios until I’m out of college and can refocus on cycling. Plus its very possible its gonna take a while for me to gather the parts I need for this build.
i understand you.
so i can ride it until you graduate, right?
middle of nowhere > philadelphia
as far as biking is concerned
As stated, I’m just jealous that you have one of my dream frames.
I can tell you’re cool from your username.
edit: i agree with the enigmatic Y.
I’d rather cough up a lung. There aren’t many people I’d trust with my bikes. Actually mostly just my other build because of its one of a kind frame, and this build because of the history behind part of the group. Feel free to take my beater out anytime.
i wanna see this one of a kind frame
No current project, but next in line is a flat-bar road bike. Possibly a Bianchi Valle if I can find one in black, or I’ll just build up this C’Mute frameset.
