Caliper: Shimano Sora
Shoes: Evans
Pads: Swiss stop blues
Cranks: Omniums, 165mm 48t
BB: Ominum
Pedals: Oddy Grandstands (have these on all three of my bikes so I suppose that makes them my favourite bike part)
Straps: Homemade by someone else out of car seat belts
Chain: Izumi track
Front wheel: Specialised Sirrius (actually very good), halo skewer alllen key
Rear wheel: Halo, 17t Condor sprocket
Tyres: Schwalbe Durano Plus, 25's

Got a mate to respray it, another for the stickers.
I love it. Went a bit over budget but fuck it.

Long time no post....
So I binned the Trek off as it just felt so loose, replaced it with a Saracen Myst, which feels incredible.
I have also just finished building a hardcore hardtail - on one 45650b.
Tony Harrison:
Salsa Chili Con Crosso - my first geared road (ish) bike. I've put in a lot of miles on this, the brooks bag helps.
I am looking into doing some touring. Has anyone had any experience with the Salsa Vaya? I'm considering selling all of my bikes (mtb, cross and commuter) and setting up a Vaya to do everything.
RyCon707:
I've read good reviews on the Vaya. There are good amount of options out there right now, considering you're also selling your MTB you may consider something that can fit 29er tires if you decide to do more MTBing/your trails warrant the larger tire size.
Switched this from fixed to single-speed. Looking into some smaller 29er tires.
