OK, from what I'm seeing, I'm wondering just how the bikes in this thread differ from the bikes in the thread about Rim Brake Perfection.

Same thoughts here.

It's steel and it's lugged.

To me, it's this guy right here. The Frame set anyway. For components I'd be wanting more retro and silver. DT stops, Shimano 8sp silver DT stuff and mid reach brakes, RH cranks in 44/36 Nitto bar, stem, post. Dura ace 7700 hubs with 28 spokes. Some 35mm tire w latex tubes and box section rims.

No fair. Disc brakes aren't allowed.

For me, personally, it is my Soma Smoothie. It fits me as if it were custom made, highly comfortable and versatile, fits 32mm wide tires, quick and agile enough for my riding. If I go down to one bike, the Smoothie is it.
The endurance type geometry with a taller head tube and shallow slant top tube is what now works best for me. I match that up with a Ritchey Beacon bar, shallow drop of 80mm, 36 degree flare, and 65mm reach. I can ride it in comfort for as many miles as I care to do. It is rim brake, but the 105 7000 calipers are very good. |
