thank you mannn. ive been searching that superbe set for almost 1 year except for BB. the hardest was the chainring. anyway, love your custom frame too. when could it be done?
Posted about 12 years ago
I see Suntour bits! And that Araya trispoke is a very nice addition too! I can't wait to see this complete!

Usually the Suntour BB is the hardest to find. But the Hatta will do for now until you can find one. It turned out beautiful! Perfect!

BB is one of important part for me that must be serviced couples time a year. i wont buy used condition for BB, thats why im using the brand new hatta that came along for the custom package. :)
