Did you have any trouble with the brake studs aligning properly when tightening them when installing them?

I did and honestly never really found a trick, I just had to try it a few times.

I want to build it with the same headset. Can you tell me what size I should buy? Is it 1 1/8 both on headtube and steerer? See size table here: https://www.chrisking.com/product/nothr...

What I meant to ask is whether the headset I should buy is straight or tapered. Is this the right one? http://www.wiggle.com/chris-king-no-thr...

Thanks! Your work setup as a cross bike was a big inspiration to set mine up in a similar way. Mines just not quite as nice components wise haha

you asked, so . . . drops look better, but not the ergo's. but the risers are well done & seems to suit the relaxed gearing.
the patina is turning out nice - can still tell it's a quality frameset that's earning it's own 'story'. & certainly helps that you've put the exact components everyone should build these with. however, I agree w/ the others that part of the joy this frameset offers is the tire clearance; rock those 32 gators!
above all, it's your bike, but . . . those pedals gotta go. time atac's come to mind or @ least put some caged toshi straps on there.

Not really sure what you mean about the pedals... they are time atacs. appreciate it.

nice. how do you keep it from rusting?
Posted over 9 years ago
I dont haha. Theres a bunch of spider rust, mostly on the top tube and the seat tube

If I had this frame I'd probably run 32c Gatorskins just for the hell of it.

How do you like the 47x17 ratio?
Posted about 10 years ago
I like it for what I use the bike for. I could stand to gear up a little but It can handle a good amount of climbing without being super spinny on a descent. Gear ratios are kind of a personal preference thing
