Yay! 650c sport road bike.
The details:
44cm seat tube, 50cm top tube, normal st and ht angles, more rake/less ground trail than your typical road bike. I don't have the exact measurements on any of this handy anymore because I lost my drawing/frame design when my hard drive crashed.
No toe overlap without fenders, and a smidge with them installed.
Velo Orange 30-46 double crank
Shimano SPD pedals (currently half platform/half spd, but will be replaced with spd on both sides)
Velo Orange square taper bottom bracket
9 speed cassette and chain
105 rear derailleur
Tiagra? front derailleur
Velocity Aerohead rims (off-center rim in the back)
105 hubs
DT Swiss 2.0/1.8 spokes (3x rear, radial front), with purple nipples
650x23c Continental Gatorskin tires
700c Planet Bike fenders (made to fit 650c with an extra set of stays on the front of the front fender)
Tektro brakes
Shimano non-series 9 speed brifters
Salsa interrupter levers
Bontrager handlebar
Civia Stem (shimmed to fit a 1" steerer)
Cane Creek 40 1" external cup headset
Ritchey WCS seatpost (which will get cut down a bit as it is excessively long for this bicycle)
Brooks B17 Womens (I am letting Jess borrow my Brooks D-shaped bag for a bit just so at least she has a flat kit with her when she is out on a ride)
Is that it? Did I forget anything?
Some of the parts I have had laying around for years, some of it is brand new.
The bike will get taken apart for a rattle-can paint job (and then reassembled) to hold it over until it can get a proper powder coat. It will also get a small, stainless steel front rack with low riders for mounting panniers at some point.
That's all for now. I'll tell the story of giving the bicycle to Jessica in the next post. And I promise it will be sooner than six months from now!
