just gave the old girl alittle freshen up she rides alot better
the old beast now with shimano zee cranks raceface pedals shimano saint brakes
new saint brakes on couldnt use rotors as there not compatible with the wheels
new shimano saint brakes front and rear unfortunatly couldnt use the saint rotors as there not compatible with the mavvic d321 wheels but still stops very well
ready to test the new brakes then disaster struck
photo i took before the test ride with new cranks which led to disaster snapped cranks
snapped cranks and 6 stitches
snapped cranks and 6 stitches later it wasnt a pleasant day thankfully all sorted now
new shimano zee cranks and raceface pedals fitted went from a 44t to a 36t she rides alot better esp up hills
new cranks shimano zee 36t much better then the old 44t

Nice. Looking forward to seeing it. I'm a fan of all of the builds I have seen from you. It's cool that you have so much love for building up the older frames as well as the new stuff.
