My first SS build

[kloeshuman]

So this past winter I did my first geared road build, Carbon frame and the whole works. Now I am looking at my old frame(Raliegh R500) sitting on my bike stand, and have decided that it is going to make a sweet SS. So now I'm looking for a Crankset to go on her, I will use a lot of my old parts on this build I think.......(I said that on the road build too) This time Im going to keep track of the build with pics also. I am thinking of running a 43/17 gear combo right now, although I do have a lot of hills where Im at so that may change. I will try and post pics as I go

Cheers Ed

 

[kloeshuman]

I still need to pic up the proper chain, Im running 45/17 for a 69.8" gear. I think I have my chain line pretty close

 

[young Ed]

looking nice!
that rear wheel not dished then? i like cow horn bars BTW
Cheers Ed

 

[kloeshuman]

No, Not dished. I will pick up a set of dished wheels later for it. I already put more into it then I wanted for now. The bars I made from an old set of drop bars, I like the look. I did get the right chain for it today and will put that on tomorrow night I think
