Hi !
During the winter I build up new wheels (in silver) and bought other tires. A used Shimano XT crankset and new chainrings from SPECIALITES TA came also with the long cold evenings. And bottle holders from Lezyne.
Pictures and new partlist will follow ...

Always been tempted by one but the rider weight limit on these has always seen them not possible for me being a fat git

So, last wednesday we hat fine weather here - good for fotos.
I think the bike looks much better now . The wheels are self build (spoked?).
I could buy another beam with a better seat holder and the nut retainer (under the small cap, at the front fixation).
The cranks were hand polished - I needed houres
Should I buy a Charge Spoon saddle in red ???
