I've started getting back into road cycling a bit since we have such nice greenways in my city (no car traffic). I've got an old All City Big Block track frame that I've currently got setup with Alex Sub rims (36H) and no-name hub in the front, Sturmey-Archer S3X hub in the rear.

- H Plus Son Archetype (475g)
- Velocity Fusion (460g)
