I put the bike together today:


This is one long frame. I had to move the seat all the way forward to get to KOPS position. And the 80mm stem just barely gets to the bar covering the hub position.
Plan is to put these Hed wheels on there:


that would be the H part of the ZHBB team.
While I’m waiting for the tube to arrive I slapped the skinny Bontrager tire on the front Hed rim:


This same tire measured 24mm on the skinny 13mm Araya rim. Now it measures 25.5mm on the 17-18mm Hed. Significantly wider. This is not good news. Even a 23 mm tire might become too wide once mounted on this Hed rim. Mmm … what to do.
