New build Bruce Gordon BLT…

Just finished a custom built Bruce Gordon BLT. Nothing too crazy, just a good solid touring build. Hanbuilt wheels with XT hubs and Velocity Synergy rims, Sugino triple crankset, XT rear derailleur, Shimano bar-con shifters – all on a 56cm c-c (60cm c-t) frame. As I’ve mentioned previously, the BLT framesets (frame, fork, stem headset, cable hanger + US Made Gordon racks in either standard black or custom blue) are readily available for $975. This one is spoken for, but I’ve got another one that’s similar as well as a 44cm c-c (48cm c-t) frameset. Bruce is also offering a complete bike package for $1499 that includes the frameset and a parts kit – some assembly required. And if you can name 4 of the people in the photo posted on Bruce’s blog, you can win a nifty pocket protector. I could only name 3 of the folks and even Bruce couldn’t remember one of the riders’ name.
