RedStarBike on August 7, 2024 2:30 am The refit of the 1996 Barracuda frame kept the factory seatpost and a saddle I had from an old build. Here’s the new refit info: * Surly Bridge Club fork * Salsa Cowbell drop bars * Lizard Skinz DSP bar tape * Dimension stem * Wolf Tooth headset spacers * Promax PI-2 sealed headset * Tektro crossover brake levers * Sram Apex drivetrain groupset, double tap right (42-11 t) * Sram SX Eagle crankset (32 t) * TruVativ bottom bracket * Promax Decode disc front brake * Shimano Deore disc brake rotor * Tektro Oryx Canti back brake * Funn Mamba S pedals * Velocity Cliffhanger 26 inch wheelset * Water cages and skewers from the bike shop All work done by [Comrade Cycles](https://comradecycles.com/) in Chicago. Thanks, Comrades!
