Screwed up not getting shallower rims that I think look better on a steel frame so I'm getting creative with tires to compensate for aesthetic of the deep-V Ailerons -_-
Yeah that has been fun this year. Luckily the parts I bought this year were from Paul and he and his crew were still shipping and creating. I skipped my other build because I couldn't get the parts easily. It would have been buying one piece at a time here and there and could easily lead to more indecision and wanting to change or compromise. Hopefully next year or the year after, it's not like I don't have a bunch of bikes and I finally got my mountain bike up and running so I should be good on fun toys.
The Thomson Ti bars are nice but you may consider these:
https://www.ticycles.com/store-all/h...5-318-titanium. Made in America and way cheaper but still of good quality. Also you can do custom stuff and do an integrated bar stem combo in Titanium and some other really fun shapes and sizes.
