15 months has passed. Done.
The toughest build ever.
I've really wanted to go with mathauser hydraulic brakes. Over the past couple of years I've bought 4 sets. Both NOS and used ones. All of them leaked after a few tries.. All of them. Than I had to sort out chainline for cook's cranks. I've bought 127mm spindle. Then 130 and finally 134mm. Before build was finished. The closest to perfection is 130mm. Not 134 as recommended.
I've ridden it a couple of hundred km's for now and it finally ride as it should. Smooth. Comfy. Old school. Makes me smile.

I'm afraid I don't. I took three stem paintjobs to match the frame.
