Thanks 27motorhead, kind words.Yes that is right, they milled slots into the clamps. Very cool.
Those bars are bonkers narrow with the brake levers "crossing", can't believe we road bikes off road with bars that narrow! Ghostbusters avoided crossed streams and we should have avoided crossed brake levers!
Some lovely components on this one. Will you be going for Mavic wishbone shifters? I also think some tan walls will help bring some colour contrast to the build. Whatever you do, you always seem to do a very nice job with your bikes!
AlmostCoolest bike I’ve seen in a very long time this, almost perfect
Yes. Mine has the machined Magura clamps too.Yes. The Magura's that came with my RC100 also have the machined clamps.
I run Mavic wishbone shifters on my RC100, they are, without doubt, not very good!!Thanks 27motorhead, kind words.
The bars are terrifying, a quick lap round the block aged me horribly, lol. The cockpit needs some sorting, I’ll either go for Mavic wishbones, if I can find any, or XT thumbies. The Rc100 are often a blend of parts so I don’t feel bad mixing Shimano/Mavic and the Xt thumbies are so reliable.
Tyres, I’m leaning towards black to keep the stealth look about the bike but I’ll try tanwall as well to see. Lots of tinkering and mind changes ahead I think.
Luckily the seat has come down a bit now.Very nice indeed - I love the one piece stem/steerers from these.
It really does have all the seatpost though, my back is hurting just looking at it!
