Fog cutter seems to me like a slightly different version of the bike you already have. For a steel group-ride/fitness road bike, I'd be looking for lightweight tubing, rim brakes, and clearance for...

@Smitty2k1 (https://www.bikeforums.net/members/smitty2k1-498071.html) I'm all for acquiring new bikes for no good reason, but I can't quite figure out what you are trying to accomplish with your next...

So those sugino chainrings work with your 11 speed chain? Good to know. I thought the were only good up to 9 speeds.

The bike looks awesome and other than the light, there is nothing sub-optimal about the functionality of the way they installed the fenders. The only reason I mentioned anything is in case you decide...

Totally up to you on how you want to deal with the shop, but I'd just have them move the light to the right location on the fender and cover the holes with a sticker. I have that same light on two...

That really turned out great. Aside from the previously mentioned tail light angle, I would add some mud flaps and move the headlight to the front of the rack. Very nice build. Cool to see that the...

I just recently installed my handlebar bag/rack/decaleur (Christmas present to myself) so I can’t report on how well it works IRL. The fit is good, and it seems solid enough in the shop. The Zao only...

Are you sure rival will work with a 40-26 crank even if the rings are the right size? I'd check that. You may either have to go with bigger chainrings like a 46-34 or a different shifter/derailleur...

Very nice choices, but double check that chainset. Don't think it works with 11 speed.

For bar-ends or down-tube shifters I’d go with Rivendell Silver shifters, and for triple chainsets I’d look at Sugino, IRD, VO & Rene Herse if money is no object. Those manufacturers all have 10...

Couple thoughts:

That gearing wouldn't work for me, but I'm not you.
Rear hub needs a 135 OLD. The VO hub looks good with a Schmidt front hub.
You'll need lights to go with that dynamo
