This is a size 53cm with Soma Oxford 56cm bars. A very relaxed and upright ride compared to the drop bar build we showed you first. Nice for casual urban riding. A regular riser bar might be more practical to tackling climbs or sprinting. But gearing was pretty good for SF's hills. You don't need a 11-36t cassette when you have smaller wheels.
- Pake SS Crank 44t with 11-28t 10-speed SRAM cassette in the back
- Sunrace RS30 trigger shifter
- Soma Oxford Bar and Sutro Stem
- IRD Cafam 2 Cantilever Brakes with IRD Sylvan Brake Levers
- Kenda 20 x 1-3/8 (37mm) tires (fattest we could find)

When will this frame be updated? The 451 wheels are great, but Disc brakes are needed now, and a carbon fork. I have a 2012 53cm, and would like an updated 55cm.
ReplyDeleteSorry, we aren't continuing with the Homebrew. Thanks for the suggestions though.
ReplyDeleteI know the Microbrew has been discontinued but what are the best options for fenders?
