A rather nice custom
Moots Gristle shot at the
Cycle Picnic in Osaka a few weeks ago. The Gristle was originally marketed as a "69er" MTB, meaning a 26" wheel in the rear with a 29" wheel up front. Nakahara-san, the owner of this bike has built it up as a 700c road bike with some very choice parts...
Fizik saddle on top of a
USE post...
Rotor cranks with
Pub Pedals over the
Crank Brothers Egg Beaters...
Shimano XTR mechs...
Controlled by
Gevenalle shifters on a set of
Thomson bars and a
Thomson stem...
All rolling on
Enve rims laced to
Chris King hubs with a
One by Esu carbon fork...
A serious bit of custom bike porn, a big thank you to Nakahara-san for taking the time to show it off to us and for the test ride!
