A Piotet frameset for $595 is tempting.

Hah! Happy to enable you! Show us pix when you get it, or better yet start a build thread. I just lost out on a project bike I didn't need, so I'll live vicariously through you.

Parts were from my old bike.

Deore 9 speed RD
SLX FD
Microshift bar end shifters
11-36 9 speed cassette
Cheap Stylo 44-32-22 crank (it's held up really well)
GXP BB
TRP HY/RD brakes
Ritchey Beacon XL bars (new!)
Custom wheels w/ WTB KOM tough i25 rims, XT rear hub, Shutter Precision dynamo front hub, double butted spokes
Panaracer GK SK 700x50 tires
B&M IQ-X front light, B&M rear light with brake light
Tubus Vega rear rack, Soma Luca front rack, Wald basket, Carradice Cadet saddlebag

Glad everything transferred over w/o issue - first time I've built a bike up from frame.

I like them a lot. I had the 46mm Beacons and liked them (bought them before the XL was available), but I'm 6'5" so I like everything big.

Is that why Tyrion, for the irony? Or do you just love Peter Dinklage, as is right and proper?

For the hip irony. I do love that character though. Really made the show.
