Current Stage Info:

After messing around with different setups for the shifters and derailleurs (and breaking things along the way) I wanted something a bit simpler. I found a mercier tt with a broken bb on fb market place and took the opportunity to transfer parts over. I also had to find a new fork that could fit regular stems because the original one only fit 22.2mm.
