Had a fella in my neighborhood build me a road bike this summer and fell in love with riding but i wanted to try to build one myself and im pretty proud of the outcome! Got most of everything from Facebook marketplace (Bike, Saddle, bars, fenders, salsa cage). Kickstand, front rack and basket are from King Kog and Bicycle Habitat in Brooklyn. Just searching for a second hand rear rack on Facebook to finish it off. Rate my shit or roast my shit thanks for looking.

My kind of build, nice work. A 700c GT is on my list.
One critique; the bike photo etiquette is to do a driveline side view if you’re going to include only one photo from that angle. Otherwise, no notes
I had this bike once, it’s very fun to ride. This specific Cirque was 1996 only, sold as a sort of ‘commuter with cx capabilities’ (paraphrasing). Impressive tire clearance for the time, I think it can fit 29×2.0”. And the glossy burgundy paintjob is just so pretty.
Nice bike OP! 7.2/10. It really looks like what it was sold as: a bike to bring you to work and to ride trails on.
