Hello all,
I'm having a custom Chris Kvale frame built. I've been a bit out of my depth with parts selection, and I'd love to get the input of wiser heads than mine regarding parts selection.
Here's what I'm having built: a road bike mainly intended for longer rides, but with braze-ons for fenders and racks to accommodate occasional very light touring.
Here's my preferences:
No carbon. It's not for me.
No black parts. It's silver all the way.
What I'm thinking so far is:
Campy 10s Athena drivetrain, clamp on front der. (framebuilder's preference)
Shimano med. reach brakes
Nitto stem
Nitto seatpost
Nitto Soba bars
Chris King GripNut headset
It's with wheels that I could especially use some help. I find the only Campy hubs available at the moment really ugly. Can anyone suggest Campy 10s compatible hubs by another manufacturer?
Thoughts and suggestions very much appreciated!
Many thanks.
