I’m not great at documenting/posting my build thread details. Get too caught up in what I am doing and my bike stand working area is in a poorly lit basement. As this bike is entered in the January BOTM, I did want to wrap up this Brave Warrior thread with some build highlights.
The bike/paint are so unique I wanted to stay a little conservative on and focused on black components including:
NOS Shimano Deore XT - M730 crankset with Black Chainrings, M732 Thumb shifters, M730 BB, M732 Brake levers, M734 Black Cantilever brakes, M735 Front & Rear Derailleurs and thanks to
@Atmos some beautiful m730 pedals.
After some education from
@Tomato it was clear this bike needed Bullseye hubed wheels. I was able to track down a really nice clean, used set that came off a Trek 8900 pro. Added an nos
Found a really nice used, black Ritchey FD seatpost and an NOS black synthetic suede Mundalita saddle
Set of NOS America Classic water bottle cages.
