The Broken Spoke

Here is another fine custom frame-up build for a customer!

So many parts. What to do with them all?

Presto-change-o! It’s a bike! Parts highlights are: Surly Nice Racks front & rear, Shimano Tigra 52/39t road double crankset, Thomson seatpost, MKS Touring Lite pedals, Shimano XT shifters & brake levers, SKS fenders, & Continental Touring Plus tyres!

It features this sweet front-end with a trekking bar for lots of hand positions.

Oh, you wanted hand-built wheels? A Shimano 105 hub laced up to an Alex Adventurer rim with thirty-six Wheelsmith double-butted spokes!

A Shimano SLX hub laced up to the same rim with the same spokes!
