I kept the frame and a few other small parts. Replaced the crank and arms with a Shimano Dura-Ace Octalink, I run a 48T in front and a 17T in the back with a YBN bmx “half link only” chain wich is silver on one side and gold on the other. The wheels are Vuelta Track wheels with white Vitoria tires. The seatpost is from Thomson and I mounted a white Charge seat on top of that. A “no-name” stem (waiting for a silver Thomson) and a 40cm wide Origin8 bullhorn handlebar, wrapped in white wrapping. Visit www.altabikesclub.com

Looks good, but I’m a little burnt out on the whole “White Bike” thing. Still it’s a clean build.

I like the bike, but riding something that looks so much like a ghost bike freaks me out. It’s like asking for an accident, or like riding a head stone.

Riding a ghost bike with no breaks is so ironic that you can probably press shirts with it.

eek, i had those octalink cranks and they stripped and i freewheel. dudes at the bike shop thought i ran fixed cause skidding could cause those kinda cranks to strip. keep an eye on them.
