Wanted this bike to be fast and light for Sheep Hills.
Started with a 21.5 CCR frame finished in raw metal. Got it rolling with a pair of Demolition Hammerhead Trail tires, G-Sport birdcage rims and Profile mini hubs with Ti accessories all held together with Ti spokes. Steering is handled with a set of Sleeper flat black bars bolted to a Profile stem with Ti hardware, Kink ceramic bearing headset and a set of Odyssey R32 forks. Power is put down with a set of 175mm Fit Blunt cranks a guarded 28t sprocket, 10t Ti rear driver and a half link chain. Spent a lot of time testing the touch points and finally settled on Odyssey keyboard grips, Primo Turbo pedals, Fit lay back seat post and a Fit brown leather seat.

About Your Bike
I had a LoveGoat Lovegod stem and LoveGoat Mancunian pegs from back in the day and no bike to put them on so I built this one up pretty much exactly how I had it in the mid-90's except I had a graveyard sprocket back then.
