Friday bore witness to the final act of a ridiculous 5 year saga—Pinkey at Revolution built my Gunnar Roadie. Why is this ridiculous you ask? It’s ridiculous because I bought the frame 5 years ago. It’s also ridiculous because it’s built with parts that’ve seen their 8th birthday. Finally, this entire build is ridiculous because I only needed to buy a chain and some new tires. Everything else I had “in stock”, so to say.
Here’s rundown of components:
- Bontrager carbon cranks
- Bontrager xXx Light fork
- Deda Black Stick post
- Fizik Arionne saddle
- 3t Less stem
- Deda 215 bar
- Bontrager Aero wheelset
- Time RXS Titan pedals
- Shimano Dura-Ace rear derailleur (from Giant)
- Shimano 105 front derailleur
- Shimano 105 Black shifters
- Shimano 105 brakes
Not a bad bunch of parts. Especially since they were sitting in storage.
