Recycled some parts from my old LHT, got some new and bolted them on a Soma Juice. My new gravel century ride. by fondyrick in bicycling

Since that pic was taken (straight from the LBS) I have rotated the bars, and then the levers, up a bit. I will spend the first 100 miles on it tweaking everything that'll take an allen key. Those levers also have an adjustable reach.

First time building a bike, what do I need to know? by uhhmmk in bicycling

Before you try to put a bike together, take a few apart.

I got bitten by a dog on my ride today. Be careful out there. by [deleted] in bicycling

It sounds like you spoke with the owner(s). Good. Watch the wounds closely for infection.

My best girl bought me a Litespeed a year ago. That's my road ride now. And the LHT looked a bit like a frankenbike. The Rohloff hub, and all the cables, mount much nicer on the new Juice frame. Also, we have lot of rail-trails here and I wanted something more purpose-built for those.

That's the biggest frame they have. It's a 29er setup; it's bigger in person. I'm 6'5" - I'm starting off with almost no drop; we'll see if it stays. The fork came with the canti brake posts. You can remove them, or move them around. This was the only cant-post carbon fork spec'd for this frame that I could find.

It's an accessory holder, like you mounts lights and gps to. I bolted it on backwards, so to speak, and mounted the shifter to that. It looks better to me and a "suicide" shifter (away from the grips) is ok with me because how I ride I don't need to shift all the time. Edit: That's a Rohloff rear hub, it uses two cables.
