Ask my anything about it and I will reply to it.

last photo was how I picked it up!

Peak drivetrain :p

This is from end of August, tried doing this route again a couple days ago and had a catastrophic chainring failure. Going to give it another rip here this week as I’ve gotten quite a bit faster recently.

new bike day, cant really find wheels to match this frame so had to use my reynolds from another bike.

got the frame for a steal and slapped some co-op parts bin components on

Copped some dura ace hubs from njs exports with a 14t. Ended up lacing them to a set of vintage mavic module E that i got on a vintage puegot roadbike and polished up. Feels so nice to be off the origin 8 hubs. Got a njs bottom bracket aswell but running a jis axel so i can rock the shimano 600 arabesque crankset still. Runnin 14x40

got some old pink Australian velocity hoops i’m gonna throw on aswell but can’t decide if i should to silver or black hubs…

Picked up the frame for $145 on marketplace

This is my bike for long-distance triathlons! I’ve already completed a Half Ironman on it, and it was amazing. I’ve done other triathlons on a “regular bike,” and they just weren’t as fun as riding my BMC Trackmachine. I set up a front-wheel brake for safety, which is mandatory for races, and added aero bars, but the rest of the bike is the original setup!
