Took this 2014 Specialized Crave SL 29er mountain bike:
And turned it into this monster hybrid this past Friday:
Avid road BB7's
Cane Creek 200TT bar end levers
Surly 15t (13t is on order at the shop)
Bontrager Aero bullhorns
Lizard Skin black and red tape
Specialized Phenom 143 with red underbody
Continental CityRide 700x42 with reflective sidewall
Chris King hubs laced to debadged Stan's Arch EX wheels
Did most of the work myself which is a first since I have only done minor stuff. LBS has a customer work stand and Park Tools to use at no charge. My buddy is the manager there, he and I discussed what I wanted to do, he ordered the stuff I didn't already have, and Friday I got dirty and built this up. Big time learning experience for me but all in all, it was fun. Working with the eccentric bottom bracket was a whole new thing for me. It rides like a dream so far. Feels so right, and so very wrong at the same time. It isn't for everybody and some of you will probably scream JA!!!!!! I traded for the mountain bike simply because it was a single speed. I had plans on turning it into somewhat of an atrocity from the beginning. Will be a total urban commuter/sandwich delivery/go out and have fun because it is nice out/legs are sore from riding fixed bike. Stock wheels will have mtb tires mounted to them, studded in front for when the weather gets bad.
