🚨new dream build🚨 this one has been a long time coming for our guy eamon he’s been pulling up for years to our MXT rides on his fixie. it was honestly awesome, albeit a bit reckless. we’ve been talking about a bike more cabable, sometime to get further on mixed terrain. something that’ll get up all the hills and singletrack pittsburgh has to offer. but also, something he can tour on, visit his bro in SF with (our guy ). something to commute on year round. even if you are proponent of N+1, bike heads know deep down we are always searching for the swiss army knife of bicycles. the one you can bring to almost any ride, use for any occasion. i think we’ve genuinely accomplished that here. eamon scooped this La Cabra frameset and wheels from who, i can imagine shares our quest for the do-it-all bike. we paired new 105 levers with the new XT derailleur for a no frills and tough wireless drivetrain. and since eamon wanted the ability to get pretty gnar on this bike, we added a set of Zee brakes. good brakes make you go faster, btw. fenders by via to get him thru the winter szn. tons of other details but i’m running out of space here so i’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
