Trac bike part II

Ok, so this picture is a little old but it is during the build process. Notice the wheels have no rubber and the stem and bar have been replaced with Deda trac bars and stem. Crank is installed and waiting on a half link for chain.

Trac Bike

Today was the first day of the build of my John Howard. Most of the components are in; Surly new hubs, KMC chain, Deda Trac bars, Cranks, Deep V rims. Here is a picture of the wheel build. I will try to keep a picture diary of the build to share.

Yes, they are gold, so are the cranks, the headset and chain. It's like art you can fly with.
