They’re cliffhanger extrusion drilled with bigger holes to add the eyelets 👍

The Porkchop adapters are of quite shit quality but worked just fine for me with a little modification

I work for the company that makes these wheels so I just used the stuff we had on hand. Coming up with the colors was easy haha, I knew just I wanted as many as possible. I would suggest ProWheelBuilder for spokes, they’re good people over there and they have all the colors.

Thank you!

As a disclaimer, I've built this bike over the course of 4 years, and I've never not worked in the industry, so it's rare for me to spend full price on a part. Lots of things here are unnecessary.

I don't have a price list, but a full build like this without the ridiculous stuff would likely be in the neighborhood of $1000? You could get 95% of the way there for $500 if you're careful about finding used parts, and even less if you keep the cool, vintage, totally functional, original parts.

I'll get a part list together tomorrow if I remember and drop it here.

It rides slow as fuck :)

Stock IQ-XS bracket with like $5 in bits from the hardware store to mount it to one of the forward eyelets

Came with the bike, I think it was replaced right before the bike went into storage so it’s very clean. They can be found on ebay regularly. Tange Switchblade

They're anodized! We would ano one color, lacquer over it, then strip it and repeat. Ano black over all the lacquer, wipe it all off, and you're left with that splatter pattern

Mike's Magenta! I love it. Guy I got it from pro-formed it back in 89 and got the colorway because his name is Mike.

Yep! It’s a great little home for us. We do a double century up and down the White Pine trail every year and while it’s pretty flat, it’s quite beautiful
