I’ve had my Wabi on the road for a bit over a month now, but I couldn’t call it complete until I got the wheelset sorted.
Anyway, my custom order from Steve at Velo Mine (highly recommended) came in this afternoon and I think I’m ready do call the Wabi done. I may or may not keep the bars, and I’ll probably impulse buy a CK headset at some point, but let’s not split hairs. Its done, and its a fantastic ride 🙂
Build List:
– Wabi Special 60cm lugged frame/fork (incl Tange headset)
– Dura Ace 7710 crankset w/ 49t Dura Ace chain ring
– Phil Wood high flange track hubset, 15t Phil cog
– HED Belgium R Disc brake rims
– Gravel King Slick 700×26 tires
– Nitto S84 Lugged seapost
– Brook B17C saddle
– Nitto NJ-89 100mm Stem
– Nitto B259 Handlebar
– Brooks leather grips
Oh and the PDW bird bottle cage (bird cage?)

Not sure about the bottle cage. Seems too decorative or frivolous against all that function – even though, I accept, the other parts are beautiful and may even have been chosen for their looks. But it’s kinda Mies and Gehry on the same build(ing).
The rest is all good and I love your sizing. I dunno why so many people ride a smaller size and a tall stack of spacers. Have nothing against spacers in the absolute but why not buy a bigger frame if you have the choice? As you did.
Is that an SE Racing chain tug?
Beautiful 🤌✨️
This is really nice.
