Great looking build, but I’ve got concerns about the angle of those cantis – looks like the brake arms should come in a bit, the pads are at an extreme “inward” angle.
Also, the top tube says “Horizo” and you should totally add a C so it says Chorizo.
I’m a big fan of those tires, I’m also running the GK SS in tan/black and I wish I’d held out for the tan/teal at the time.

Holy shit this is a beaut!
_who- on
I set the cantis up like this purposely. Setting them up wider can really help with increased braking power and I feel it’s particularly important in my case as I’m using dropbar brakes that can be twiddly with cantilevers.

Great shout on the Chorizo 😁
