so finally! haha, well, it’s still being built, i promise! 😉 so what’s new? probably a lot, the Farfarer Touring front mini rack hasn’t been installed on a photo up on the blog so far, the crankset, the lack of a front derailleur (see crankset haha). the brakes are back on, i had removed them…
small update… the frame is now in the care of R+E Cycles up in Seattle, should be about two to three weeks before i see it again.. getting the dent filled and the new cable stops brazed-on (replacing the top cable guides). can’t wait! in the meantime i’ll just have to comfort myself by purchasing…
decided to take advantage of a lull in work and a break in the rain -peter
just thought it’d be nice to get some more detail and distance shots of the Klein Quantum Race with it’s new Soul Kozak + DT Swiss RR440 wheelset, i’m just mildly proud of it/them 😉 -peter
sooo, that whole Soma Buena Vista mixte thing? um… yeah… just kinda shifted 😉 it became a much cooler Kogswell P/R (Porteur/Randonneur), thankfully all of the parts (excluding brakes) were a straight swap. right now it’s kitted out as such (front to back): Minoura King Carrier Front Basket/Rack Large, 2x Schmidt E6 dynamo headlights, Velo…
so here it is, the 1992 Trek 950 Singletrack that is my next project, a badass 650b city bike. more info to come as i get the parts 😉 -peter
