Words cannot express how much I love this bike.

I was up until 3:45 last night wheelbuilding and doing various other conversions.
A little more work this morning and she was right as rain... which of course it decided to do this afternoon.

Believe it or not it was new in january... It had been sitting around for almost 11 years unbuilt. This bike is an ebay miracle.

Eno goodness

I love the handlebars. They are 9.99 ebay jobs but they are reasonably light and wrapped thick with cinelli gel bar tape. Which by the way is better than any grips I've ever used.

Yes it is a 1" headtube.

Generic bullhorn bars with Cinelli gel tape and plugs carved from wine corks.
Avid brake levers and ultimate v-brakes
Syncros seatpost

Take a new pic with a solid, or at least simpler, background. Works better with jpeg compression.

Then increase the jpeg compression. I find lowering compression/image quality from ~85% to 75% can cut the file size in half with little detail loss.

Much larger pixel size images can be uploaded if you do the above.
