That is very cool, I'd never seen one of those before. I quite like the silver cranks!

All done. This one took a bit longer than I expected. The cable ferrules and bar size were a bit of an issue, but once I got those sorted it was a pretty easy build.

The Marinovative Decelorators will take a few rides to get set up, but they really work well once dialed in.

I like it a lot ... fit is great for me.
