Brakeless in Montreal

Posted on September 23, 2010 by Stephane Daury

Some like "Sleepless in Seattle", I prefer "Brakeless in Montreal".

Specs:

Original Sunday frame, one of ~15 Jim Cielencki made with a 14.125″ rear-end (thanks J. Williams).
Odyssey race fork, rear wheel (including hub), headset and grips (flangeless, always).
Animal bars, stem, sprocket, pegs, pedals and rear tire.
Primo Powerbites cranks.
Demolition front wheel.
Volume seat.
Shadow Conspiracy front tire.

I’ve been riding this puppy since October 2009 and so far, the only things I’ve had to change were the grips and chain (too many ledge grinds…). I am missing two spokes from the rear wheel, but that’s not the end of the world.

All in all, I love my ride!
