More purple
Halfway through assembly; waiting on wiring, cabling, and realignment of the rear end (I misaligned it when I respaced the stays after brazing in the fender bridges and flat mount posts and now these 175mm cranks foul against the NDS chainstay.) I also need to verify whether the rack is level; the TT is very slightly upsloped, so the rack platform may be level but looks like it’s sloping downwards because of the relative masses of the front triangle vs the rack. And fenders! – I have a pair of hammered Honjos rotting away in my bike mess and this might be the perfect application for them.
