A few months ago I sent Doug Curtiss (Curtlo Cycles) a deposit and then waited. After we spoke about what I wanted he got to work and I eventually got a tag from the post office saying there was a parcel waiting for me.
I built up the bike with Ritchey WCS stem, bars and seat post. Shimano Cantilever brakes, Regal Saddle, Centaur 10 compact crank, Front and rear ders, Shifters. American Classic 10 speed cassette. Shimano Ultegra hubs laced 3x to Mavic MA3 rims which I had in the garage ( still in the wrappers). In the pictures I have Michelin tires mounted, they have since been removed and replaced with Vredestein Campo Cross. I love the Campo Cross tire, and so it stand to reason that Vredestein would dis-continue it, I have no idea why they have done that.
The frame and fork ( a custom steel fork built by Doug) are True Temper OX Platinum, a nice light steel frameset.
The bike rides like a dream.
