Lots of non-bike things to do last week, but finally I mounted all the parts from the last picture, and this nice German made Thun Aero Coronado cranks:
(I had the idea to use as much German parts as possible, but that's difficult. There are a lot of German bicycle parts which are cheap, heavy, chunky and made of chrome or nickel plated steel. Or very fine and VERY expensive parts, and only very few inbetween. So I had to take a look to the rest of Europe and Japan, especially if I want to finish in time)
This is how the bike looks at the moment:
I was not sure about the bar/stem combination. First, I wanted to use this:
An Atax stem/Philippe bar. The stem looks old fashioned, and the bar (a so called French training bar) comes very low. I also considered to chop/flip a road racing bar, but that's half of the bikes on fixedgeargallery.com look like. Now on the bike is a CTA stem/bar combination. Sorry for the poor macro function of my camera, the bar has very nice engravings, and it says "La technique avion appliquée aux 2 roues" (airplane technology applied to 2 wheels). If this isn't a reason to use tis bar
And the best: weight of the bike is under 9 kilos, only the pedals, the brake levers and brake cables missing!
