Managed to source the hubs I wanted for the initial build. Will swap the m750s out for these, and I’ve got a later impact headset to fit. Just a couple of small changes but it will match better in my eyes. Also swapped out the tyres for a set of 2.1 panaracers. Dropped a significant amount of weight .
Not been out much this year, life’s kinda taken over recently. Managed an hour today though, dry and cool so perfect for a ride . The kona was a perfect partner for bike paths and some light gravel.
I’ve seen your pics and the views are spectacular where you live. If you make it over next year and fancy a few hours on the bike? Possibly with a refreshment stop, I can arrange that. I’m sure I’ve got a spare bike somewhere .
Mechs aren’t mint, but tidy enough considering I ride the bike. I’ll give them a clean up before I fit them. Once swapped the parts removed can be used to upgrade another bike. It will keep me occupied for hours swapping bits around .
