RE: [RBW] New-Bombadil-Day!

2014-11-07 Thread Allingham II, Thomas J
Always a pleasure to meet up with folks I’ve been corresponding with on this 
list, and the beer with Tony was a plus!  That build looks great, Tony, and 
much more practical than my silly interim single speed build on that frame.

Congratulations, and thanks for an entirely pleasant transaction.

Subject: [RBW] New-Bombadil-Day!

Pardon the poor image quality... I met up with Tom at about 4:30 today to pick 
up my new blue 56 Bombadil. It was a real pleasure meeting you Tom, thanks for 
the fantastic bike!

While the bike came with a sweet Bullmoose cockpit I have a ~80 mile ride 
planned for Veterans Day and I didn't think I could hack the upright cockpit 
for that long of a day so I went into a crash build tonight with parts from all 
over the garage... good thing my Saluki is still down for the count as many of 
her parts were pressed into service.  And yes as you'll see the Co-Op Nitto 
Handle Works Forged stem did make the initial build! :)  Build highlights;

56 Bombadil - taller and bigger than I had expected... very close dimensions to 
my 60 Saluki
48cm Noodle handlebars w/ Nitto forged stem
Bruce Gordon Canti's (super sweet, thanks Tom!)
Sugino Triple off my Saluki
Velocity 32H 650B wheelset off my Saluki
Vee Rubber 650Bx1.95 Tires
VO Orange brake cable housing
Silver Shifter (rear/right only)
No FD, stick shift for now
Nitto R-14 rear rack / Nitto saddlebag QR  Carradice longflap

I think that's about it, I'll be commuting in tomorrow morning thanks to the 
successful build tonight... Can't wait!

Tony
