Colnago steel road fork.

Red anodised low flange Phil Woods flip flop hubs.
Spokes tied and soldered.
Thomson seat post and stem.
Pro bars and saddle, white leather bar tape.

The cranks were wet sprayed which makes for a beautiful finish, but I think I’d get them powder coated if I was to do it again. The powder coating doesn’t look as smooth as a wet finish but apparently it’s a lot more durable. I’ve chipped those cranks quite a bit since those shots were taken.

I’m considering that stye of bar on the Fargo. A local bike shop has a set so i’m keen to go check them out. Nice bike you have there.
Sweet - tough and elegant at the same time. Indeed the colour combination is fantastic. Cranks look like the old white Shimano ‘Sante’ ones.
beautiful bike, really elegant color combination.
I love the white cranks, how are they painted?
I have a set of (really old) Deore XT cranks I’ll be using for a SS MTB, and they *really* need some help in the cosmetic department : )
