Looks great! I'm after a similar look :) How wide are the fenders?
Posted almost 6 years ago
Thanks. Not sure on the width. Whatever width that accommodates up to 35c tires. I think they're the 45mm wide fenders.

Love the Ruben Build! So much cleaner than mine :(

Gotta go custom man! I bought the bare frameset, and pieced it all together. Final cost was not much more than the complete, but with higher quality components that I hand picked.

Yeah I got one of the Sora complete builds, but wish I had waited for the frame sets to go on sale. $300 shipped was an insane deal!

This is insanely nice build, love the raw finish of the frame! If they sold these frames in Europe I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Still diggin' this!
That DOF in the new photos is amazing! What gear are you using to take such good photos?

Thanks man! My buddy shot these With a Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Don't recall what lense he shot with.

Do the DA levers work well with disc brakes, or are you using some sort of adapter to adjust the pull?

Just to add a little: they appear to be the road version of the BB7's so they should work fine as is.

This is awesome! looks really practical too.

Thanks! Yeah, utility was the prime motivation for this. So I'm glad the practicality is evident.

Definitely a handsome machine you've got! If I didn't have to leave my commuter outside at work, I would totally build something killer up like this.

So what kind of clearance would you say it has? I've seen a frame come up recently and I already have a pair of 40c Maxxis tires, curious if they would fit.

Can fit 40c tires on 700c hoops as long as you're not running fenders. Otherwise, go down to 650's.
