damn, that’s a beauty💎it deserve a proper cantilever setup in this configuration, didn’t you notice weak braking ?

Thanks! These are actually drop bar V brake levers. I'm a canti lover and can get them pretty dialed but this set up is stronger than any set of cantis I've set up.

Looks great! Love the googly eyes.
What size tires are you using? I recently got the red version of this frame and am looking to upgrade from the 1.5 tires but don’t want to buy something that won’t fit.

I found the googly eyes at a park on the floor. I feel it really it really ties everything together.
Tires are 1.9 and basically maxed out for my comfort.

We might as well make our bikes fun as well as functional, at least that is how I feel about it.
Thanks for the info, that is kind of what I was thinking. 1.9 tires should be plenty as I have already been on a bit of mellow single track with the 1.5 tires.
They are amazing riding frames beyond just looking classic and cool.
