S̶l̶o̶w̶ Fast and Steady Wins the Race
« on: June 27, 2015, 07:46:10 PM »
Built up my new Steadfast last night and got to ride it this morning. Last frame was a Broadcaster with 13" rear end and 75* head tube, almost forgot how much more I like these longer rear ends and slacker head tubes. Also, first time I've had chain tensioners in a decade, mainly since I ditched the pegs. Makes life way easier. Waiting for brake cable to arrive to put on my beloved brakes.





FBM Steadfast 21.25"
FBM USApes 8.75"
FBM Doublefister grips
FBM PMA stem
FBM headset
FBM seat post clamp
Tree headset cap
Sunday Octave forks
Sunday Tripod post and seat
Odyssey Thunderbolt 175mm cranks
Odyssey 512 27t sprocket
Odyssey Par Ends
Odyssey Antigram hubs, 9t
Odyssey Aerospace rims
KHE Dan Lacey tires
Premium plastic pedals
Demolition chain tensioners
KMC 510HX chain

Odyssey Quik Slic, Springfields/clear Ghost pads, and Monolever soon.

Lovely.


Are you sure brakes are going to clear the chain with that gear ratio?

Looks good to go. I've heard that 25/9 fits with flush bolts/brakes but I've never ridden 25/9.

Thanks everyone, I'm definitely psyched with it. Every FBM I've ever owned seems to put one hell of a smile on my face.

Can you get some photos of the stem area? I kind of want one those stems but feel they're a bit overbuilt.

Thanks!

















Stem rules! Lots of machining on the inside, classic look on the outside. PMA!

I'm a Tripod believer.
