Fuck. I had an enormous post all written out, and then I pressed submit and it disappeared like it hasn't done for ages. Of course this time I neglected to copy like I normally do. So this will be a bit briefer than it was beforehand.
ANYWAY. Update time...
SHINY BITS ARRIVE
Shiny bits by comatus1649, on Flickr
I've fallen for the whole disk brake fad. Got a TRP Spyre on eBay for less than the price of a BB5, and it should be a little better than a BB7 so I'm pretty pleased with that. Looks ace too. The hub is a pretty unexciting Shimano M756, which I chose because I like matching hubs and it can easily be converted into a pretty ace rear hub with a six-bolt sprocket. Rims will be Halo Aerotrack; spokes will be DT Swiss Revolution because I've never laced a wheel with very light spokes and it will be a good experience one way or another ...
More of what I wrote and lost tomorrow.
