More Info:
It originally had: *** Nitto B123 bars, that I had to swap out for these *** Some unknown 17T 1/8" cog *** Shimano SG 42T chainring, which in combination with a 17T cog created a spinny ratio, probably perfect for the SF hills *** Sugino 130BCD road cranks made to hold two chainrings *** Some old Specialized Ultralight tires that came off way too easily when I went it to replace a tube, and shed some crumbs... off they went! *** A 107mm BB that I had to replace due to Andel crankset needing 110mm BB *** Another set of MKS Sylvans, which were quite beat up and one was missing a dust cap. I decided to replace them altogether with a new set.
