Velocity/Stans NoBS wheels with 20mm internal rim width. 700x42mm WTB Resolute tires. RackTime rear rack. Topeak MTX rack trunk with zip out fold-down panniers - this is the velcro strap model and not the one with the plastic click-in mount - this version is 2 lbs lighter than the click-in version.
Shimano CX-70 50 cantilever brakes. Spurcycle original bell - buy the real deal and not the cheap knock-off. The folding ABUS Bordo lock is in their click-in water bottle mount holder. Does not rattle or clatter one bit. This mounting location keeps the weight of the lock centered front to rear and also helps keep the center of gravity down low. The Topeak Morph pump bracket is visible on the top tube.
This unit is as home cruising to the pubs as it is schralping the singletrack. The 7900 and all aluminum 7600 will clear 42mm tires front and rear. The steel 750 version will clear 45mm tires front and rear.
