I'll take so more pictures when it's all operational but here she is.
Dead excited.
Typical that the rain kicked off just as I wanted to go for a ride. |
Here with the bastard to fit Surly Nice Front rack. |

First wheel has all the spokes in but its all slack and needs loads of tension. The dynamo hub looks awesome against the Mavic Rim. |
I had a cat for company whilst most of the tensioning was done. |
Last few spokes adjusted and we're and riding home at 12.30 pm. Cold. |
Shimano XT Rear Shadow medium cage. I'm hoping I don't need the long cage because I couldn't find any evidence to suggest I'd need one on a tourer. It looks pretty sweet. |
Awful picture of the XT front, but there it is. |
Here's some jolly headset caps for a nice guy called Fast Freddy located here http://www.fast-freddy.com |
Nitto Noodles at 48cm. Probably the last pair on the planet :D |
VO Saddle with silver springs. Bad luck Brooks. Also, I've experimented with different types of 'silver' on the headset spacers to make it look a little different. So far I'm pleased with the results. |
Already seen these, but thought I'd show them again. |
Surly Decals. None in the UK so these came all the way from Niagara Falls. Weirdly, no white LHT decals so the Long Haul Trucker decals has been omitted from the build. Not that fussed really. |
SON delux 36h hubs. We'll see if this was worth the investment later. |
