This bike was a particular joy to plan and build, as I was given quite a bit of creative freedom. The general concept was vague: vintage, military, navy…
The component selection was based on the overall look of the bike while keeping a budget and functionality in mind.
Traditional downtube shifters were used, but a modern 10 speed Shimano drivetrain keeps things up to date.
Leather bartape with matching red waxed twine and TRP retro levers feel good in your hands while matching the bike’s vintage feel. Everything on this bike was chosen for its timelessness. The intent was to create a truly timeless bike that just gets better with age. That consideration was applied to the component selection, bar tape, saddle, etc.
Road Classic for C. Bryan
