My biggest fear was that you'd get the frame and it wouldn't be exactly what you would have wanted. I can't wait to see some pictures of the completed bike! <br /><br />I'll see you at NAHBS, right? <br /><br />DaveDave Wageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031530028833357768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820430141970983578.post-16119858042734251292009-12-29T08:19:58.397-06:002009-12-29T08:19:58.397-06:00Well as the lucky recipient, let me thank Dave and...Well as the lucky recipient, let me thank Dave and my wife for this Christmas miracle. The workmanship on this frame is as fine as I have seen and I have some pretty special bikes so that is saying something. Its really quite flawless.<br /><br />I had a super record 11 build kit laying around for a future project and I started to put it on this frame, but it wasn't aesthetically pleasing to my eye. This frame needed a bit more silver in my opinion so I took the SR 11 off and put on some Record 10, but with a Record alloy crank and some DT Swiss rims with Record hubs (the nice silver ones you can't get anymore). It is looking very sweet. Still haven't decided on the bar tape or saddle.<br /><br />Thanks again to my lovely wife Sydney and the talented Dave Wages.big weavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05330500963313700335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820430141970983578.post-59829714723566726222009-12-28T13:54:28.088-06:002009-12-28T13:54:28.088-06:00It will fit in nicely to Rob's already awesome...It will fit in nicely to Rob's already awesome collection.mcscholthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864767071368448313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820430141970983578.post-76112670653440891902009-12-28T13:39:58.688-06:002009-12-28T13:39:58.688-06:00This one has a 595mm top tube, I guess that's ...This one has a 595mm top tube, I guess that's on the larger end of the spectrum, but not huge. When I did the drawing for Rob's frame, it ended up being within a couple millimeters of my own frame size. I think Rob and I could trade bikes pretty easily.Dave Wageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031530028833357768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820430141970983578.post-84934392593976748462009-12-28T08:06:31.271-06:002009-12-28T08:06:31.271-06:00Wow, awesome idea.
