TRADITIONAL The Resu-Trektion

Few more pix. She’s a little ratty and clear is still wet/milky but was such a special moment to capture.

I respect your pace. Sometimes it takes some time

So you're gonna keep it in 'the nude' 'raw' or 'bare' carbon. Sexy.

It's hilarious and served as great motivation as a swore not to change the name back until the frame was done.

Well worth the wait, but this 70s soft rock popped in my head.

Looks great by the way!!

Yes! It’s finally naked. Remember the Naked Trekkie?

After having these stickers for 6 years I couldn’t wait another second to put them in the bike.

Some page 4 bling. Scrubbed, polished and waxed the chain and cassette.

Subtle beauty of black decals on natural carbon.

Looks like that cassette is a 10 spd road model. Your'e likely gonna need flat bar road shifter for compatability and smooth shifting. I'm guessing you might go with a 1 x 10 drive train?

Will be the original 2x10. Have a set of Microshift Centos flat bar road shifters.

Says they have ball bearings in them.

One of my favorite lines from a favorite movie! Thanks for the laugh!

 

[kingfish254]

Really digging the shade on shade effect of the decals on the carbon.
Very cool!

The force is strong with this one.

I wasn't sure how the carbon was going to look after the paint was stripped but it's actually pretty cool. Love the stealth graphics too. Looks really good!

Thank you Pondo. It’s more interesting than I thought it would be.

Got it sanded and buffed. Lost 4 of the small stickers on the front but not very noticeable.

Tried the bars on to see how they look. Not bad. Shifters are a little bulky.

No fountain but I do have this.

Looks black in the shade.

 

[OddJob]

Very cool Mr Chad T-rekspert! And those shifters will disappear once you add wheels,saddle, cranks. Natural carbon spacer is sweet, carbon housing on the docket, too?

Thank you brother! For casing I have yellow shift and ice gray for the brakes. Didn’t realize the shift housing was Jagwire until now. Bonus. Was a 9 dollar Amazon deal. Didn’t say what brand.

Love those bars

Thanks cap’n. They came off of a 2000/2001 Schwinn Panther. A lightweight (22lb) single speed.

Jagwire ! Sweet. A little splash of color. Got your saddle picked out?
