I don't usually do build threads, as finding time to do stuff is difficult, and my builds usually take months or even years... there is a link in my sig to a thread with some pics of the old build. Back then it had a mix of campag mechs, sugino chainset, the cane creek brakes... now it will be based on deore DX (hubs, mechs, chainset), with 105 DT shifters, current brakes are the suntour but we'll see... D521 rims, tubus racks. When I eventually get it done I'll post pics, but probably not before
those are definitely the best looking V brakes ever, I had some of the very first ones and got put off parallel push type Vs forever with all the rattling! Would consider a non-rattly set though!
I've bought a set of these whilst gathering parts for my Yates build but have not yet tried them. Does anyone have real life experience of these?
that's the idea!
As usual Dave was ahead of the times, this was built as a long distance tourer that could take on pretty much anything but it could be considered a gravel bike before they were a thing. It rides really well both on road and off - no long distance touring in my immediate future though, so I plan on using this for some dirt tracks in the hills around here
