What’s in the stand…

This homemade looking bike came in to get some 90mm comfort riser bars, slick tires, Gripshift MRX shifters, wicker basket… Okay, not really. It did get dropped off so I can send it to its new home with my friend Noah, Cunningham afficianado. It’s pretty freakin’ cool.

The model is the Wombat and was pretty much a women’s specific bike. It’s made light (22.09 lbs with the heavy tires currently in place) and is not designed to be abused. The stealth WTB/Chris King Grease Guard headset is nice with the black o-ring instead of the standard orange one. The cranks are also a super nice touch. Little known Specialized micro-drive cranks with Suntour 20/32/42 rings. They just barely fit around the bb-shell and Charlie also went so far as to mill the back side of the arms to lighten them up further. The internally wired cycle computer is a nice touch. Check out the shrink tubing on the front brake cable enclosing the computer wire.

But what’s a good bike without photos!
