My Soren Son

Nick’s the only one starting posts in this forum, but apparently I have the power, so here goes:

My Raleigh has been retired and it’s parts transferred to the new ride:

58cm square frame, built on the Gold Coast by Soren Son, repainted in a pearl white/blue fade by the builder at a later date. Frame material unknown, but probably 531/653. Forged dropouts, lugged of course.

Sugino Super Mighty 165mm cranks, 144BCD and 42t ring. Crank Bros Candy SL pedals. RSX short reach DP brake with kool stops and a tektro 'cross lever.

Built my own wheelset with 36h IRO hubs laced to Rigida rims via DT spokes, 16 DA cog/lockring, 28mm gatorskins.

Other wheelset is 28h Formula hubs/DT/Fiamme red labels/Clement Futura tubulars. Much lighter.

Stem/bars/seat/post are all slated for upgrades in the future and don’t warrant mention.

Spotted this at the Dinmore station commuter carpark and had a giggle:
