I'm obviously looking forward to getting it as well.

Already plotting a second frame from them provided all goes well with this one.

Its real nice. Its way softer than a brooks tape for comparison sake. Its thinner than a brooks as well but not as thin as say a handlebra. Its a very nice mix imo.

Not all bushman tape are the same tho i just requested the same as last time as i was very happy with that one. If i recall correct i think he said the stock black tape are thicker than brown but he can ofc make it to your preference.

I definitely will. It is scheduled to arrive this Wednesday and hopefully I'll have it built up by the weekend. I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on a new BMC Monster Cross when I saw this. It was pretty late in the auction and rather than take a chance of losing the bid I paid the BIN price. I figured for $100 more than the BMC I'd get a better frame and one with a geometry that I liked more.

FYI also saw that Tim Neenan has retired and I've always had him on my short list of builders if/when I was to order a custom.

A great find. Normally I'd have posted a PSA, but I think this would've fit. That JB paint looks stunning and a lighthouse with <100 miles for $850 is less than the cost of paint. Enjoy!

Digirit Derailleur cage with oversized jockey wheels

I mangled my older Dura-Ace rear derailleur cage with a chain drop that snapped the derailleur off the frame of my Cervelo R5. (no break away hanger)
So while the frame is getting repaired with a new dropout WITH a break-away hanger from Ritchey, I replaced the cage with a Taiwan-made Digirit cage that has oversized jockey wheels...I also replaced the chain (KMC)

Slowing throwing parts on The Havocstaff I got from R3awak3n.... STOKED

Was gonna shift my campy kit from my current road rig but for some reason I impulsively bought a 9100 mech set. ... so now I have to wait until I can afford the rest of the 9100 bits I need!

can't wait to see it. I think it would look awesome with 9100 and off course looks awesome with campy. Be nice to see your take on the bike (I have missed it a bunch already)

As it turns out, I just ordered a Rotor UNO groupset. We'll see how that goes. Won't have a bike on which to put it for a bit, but nonetheless I'm excited.


Quick, someone buy the bike I've got for sale in the classifieds.
