Java Boy bars, mullet setup, 90% clean frame. Fresh BB, hottest headset

Crizzle called this PW PROTO 1 which is very funny for those who know. Then he gave me a 1 1/4” King headset, black on black sotto voce, like the nicest headset that exists.

Daaang son – oversized King headset

Hilariously I was so stoked to find a 1 1/4” fork with a long enough steerer that… I bought a 700c (Rodriguez tandem?) fork instead of a 26”. Right there in the description, 100% my fault. Then I missed out on a 26” Pepperoni fork.

Bruce Gordon Rock’n’Road tire does not fit this fork. Or it fits perfectly.
33mm CX tire fits with plenty of room. Too much??

Stripping the paint. 1 1/4” fork and shorter stem acquired. I need to source some rub-off letters to put BIKETINKER on the top tub. Ideally I’d put drop bars on here but the stems don’t work for that. I’d also love to make this a singlespeed for the lightness but I haven’t even measured the chainstay yet.

Stripping paint is tedious
Don’t ask me if stripping the paint was a dumb idea. It was a dumb idea.

No Cannondale will ever be Otto
