Just finished putting it into service. Touch points still getting dialed in.
1993 Koga-Miyata TerraLiner – modified for 650b and Paul Racer brakes; bottle bosses added to down tube and fork blades; full-length housing for rear brake;
Paul Components Racer brakes in custom color assortment;
Hand-built (by me) Velocity Cliffhangers with SP SL-9 front dynamo and DT 350 rear;
White Industries ENO crankset and bottom bracket, 34T, 175mm;
SRAM Force22 shift/brake levers – modified with Ratio 12-speed ratchet, front shifter will be used for future dropper;
SRAM GX Eagle rear derailleur – modified for Ratio-compatible cable pull;
SRAM NX 12-speed HG cassette 11-50T
I’ve got plans for a Wit Slingers split frame bag and saddle bag. Front will be pretty adaptable for a basket or a harness/dry bag setup. I’m also thinking about the Focus Adventure Rack for the rear. New handlebars are Soma Gators but I’m waiting for Velo Orange to restock the stem I want. I ordered a C17 Carved because this parts bin saddle feels like sitting on a well-worn 4”x4”. I really wish the Ultradynamico 47.99 fit between my chain stays, the mismatched sidewalls annoy.
