The title says it all-- I got my new bike! I will post a better picture once the weather gets a bit nicer and I find a convenient spot to snap a shot of my new baby. Due to the loss of my digital camera last year on Cal-Train, I take all of my pictures using the Photo Booth feature on my MacBook.
Here's the breakdown:
Stem, clamp-on brake and seatpost are temporary.
Wheelset= Phil Wood hubs (back is flip-flop), laced to Deep V machined rims with Gatorskin tires
Drive train= Phil Wood BB, White Industries freewheel, Wipperman chain, Paul Royal Flush Cranks with complimentary Sugino Alloy Dust Cups, White Industries pedals attached to Christophe Special toeclips and Pake straps.
Brakes= Dia-compe clamp-on rear brake and a Campagnolo Centaur front brake. Brake levers are Paul canti levers.
Seat= Selle Italia vegan Turbo
Seatpost= Compliments of Box Dog Bikes
Headset= Chris King
Frame= De Bernardi 51 cm thron
Stem= Dimension 90 mm
Handlebars= Nemesis Project Lil Weezy's
Grips= Oury Grips
So far the bike rides really smoothly, predictably, and quickly. I am going to try setting the seat a little further back and raising it slightly so I can get a better pedal revolution. I am gradually getting better at riding with getting both feet into my toe clips right away. I already had my first fall out of my toe clips, as I got to the front of my house and realized I had to put my foot down. I ended up falling into a minivan, and it was quite funny. Luckily the street was dead and I was fine.
