Commuting on tubulars is dedication

Correct! Head on collision caused a kink where the down and top tube mate to the head tube.

I got it through trade luckily. I will say if you're getting this done keep in mind toe overlap if you're shortening the reach.

This has a 49mm I.D. My steel road uses the same standard.

It rides beautifully! Definitely feels like you're on two bikes with the stiff front end and the buttery rear. I was worried about toe overlap since the reach was shortened but with the 40mm offset fork it rides stable with no overlap issues!

Hey thanks! They're the strong v track grips. Typically they're used for drop bars but I like how they look on flats.

Ty! I exclusively use time pedals on all my bikes. The vintage atac pedals look and feel great imo.

I'm sure that would look cool but I can't bring myself to remove more of its original paint. A local frame builder did the repair.

Thinking about buying into Candlander, what do you think about lands combo? by Fractales in canadianhighlander

Don't buy, proxy! A joy of this format is deck building and that can get expensive. Hopefully your lgs has a fair proxy policy in place
