My Superb Sprint

Jason — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:39:00 +0000

After putting in a bunch of miles on our Sprint Prototype I finally decided it was time to build myself one. I had one painted in sky blue metallic and I am really happy with how it turned out. The metallic flake is very understated but when the sun hits it, it really shines! I decided on black components to offset the light hue of the frame and I think the contrast really works, and it helps the gum wall tires pop. I have been commuting on it a few days now and I am super stoked with it. I went with some larger than average tires because of the number of horrible roads on my commute and the stiff frame and larger tires really work well to give an efficient buy comfortable ride. To fit the larger tires I used the standard brake hole fork, but had it plugged before it was painted. Well here is the components breakdown.

Frame: Superb Sprint Size L
Rims: Velocity Aero
Hubs: Superb
Spokes: Dt Swiss
Tires: Panaracer Pasala Tourguard 32c
Crank: Sram Omnium
Chainring: Superb Prototype
Cog: Profile
Lockring: All City
Chain: Izumi
Headset: Vintage Chris King
Stem: Gran Compe
Handlebar: Euro Asia Imports Cobra
Grips: Oury
Saddle: Superb Prototype
