I have been working on this project for the past 3 months, finally got to ride it today. Overall I am quite pleased with the ride, but I need to do some minor tweaking.
Flatted out near the end of the ride, 1/2 mile from home.
It’s a bit of a frankenbike, but I did everything quite intentionally, to achieve some comfort and extra gearing that I couldn’t find on my Battaglin.
As a lot of you know, aging has its drawbacks.
Xtr rd, shifters and pedals

crappy no name br levers from the co-op

dura ace cranks and calipers
record headset, the original olmo was cracked
The spokes appear to be standard j-bend installed in reverse. If anyone could confirm this, much appreciated.
looks as though the nipples could be unique to this wheelset.
