Here's my newly built (today) Wabi Classic. Had Scrod build it up for me as I watched and learned the art. He also taught me which bike tools make the best weapons. Very useful information for everyday life. Thanks again Scrod for all the help today!
Photos don't show it's real beauty. Just quick snaps from my phone. The bike looks like it's a different color in each one. I'll whip out the Cannon someday soon to get PedalRoom worthy pics. Until then, these should do.

Thanks Tejano and rex! And rex, its a 58cm. I'm 6'2".
Scrod- I appreciate the kind words. I had fun chillin in the shop too. I also realized how much of a nightmare it would have been if I tried to build it up myself. I was missing so many tools. Also, glad we got the crankset worked out. The S300's still look great with this build.

No chris king headset, no modern frame, no thomson seatpost. It's still my favorite bike, my only bike. That first pedal stroke in the morning, every morning ..

And thanks, I love your wabi too as you already know. Did you have problems putting omniums on your frame. I had omniums first but the crank arms were way too close to the chainstay. We put spacers in but it was still too close and the cranks wouldn't completely tighten. I'm fine with the S300's, but I'm curious as to why the omniums wouldn't work.

No, i didn't have any issues with the omniums that i recall. Ill go look tomorrow, but i dont think i used any spacers on the bb. Perhaps its a frame size issue? Mine is a 58 i think. What's yours?
