4 Dec
56cm early 80’s Ross “Gran Tour”, this is a lugged Japanese Ishiwata 4130 E-X triple butted steel frame and fork set. Comes with SR Laprade seat post and binder bolt, topped off with an older used Specialized race saddle. Quill SR stem with chopped and flopped bars with new bar wrap and older repacked head set. Drive train consists of a new Sram S100 Single speed crankset 175 arm length with 48t ring, New Truvativ splined BB, new Z chain, clean, crisp and silent, just attached a pair of lightly used Wellgo track style pedals. Wheelset is a pair of 36h Vuelta rims laced with stainless spokes to a pair of Vuelta cartridge bearing hubs with a 16t fixed cog and 18t freewheel. The set is wrapped in a new pair of WTB Solano 700×25 all black, has new tubes and are pumped up to 120psi, yummy and will rip up the asphalt! The machine is stopped by a pair of older (but o so nice) silver Dia-Compe brakes with new pads, cables and top bar mounted cross top pulls, just took her off of the bike stand and I am ready to release her into the wild.
