I still need to adjust tension on the gear cable but just a test ride reminded me how well this bike fits me. Just about 23 lbs as shown. Yellow fizik tape might be too bold of a fashion statement.
It's fantastic, Neal - looks great. Tell me a bit about the TA crank - I'm thinking of using one I have for my Sun Wasp and transferring its modern single to my old Triumph - how many teeth on the ring? Bottom bracket? I'm using 48 x 20 with my FM. I really like that hub.
