Bike Build: Components

Ever since I got into bikes I've been a Campagnolo fan. When I upgraded the components on the bike I currently ride I chose the Campagnolo Potenza 11 groupset. It was economical, it had great reviews on the Internet and of course it was Campagnolo. I have been very happy with this groupset. When choosing what components to use on this bike build I of course wanted a Campagnolo groupset; and, I high hopes to go with the Chorus or maybe even the Record group set. However, my bike build budget would not allow for these extravagant group sets. Thus, I have chosen the Potenza 11 groupset for this bike build.

I can't tell you how excited I was to unboxed these brand new components. It was like Christmas morning when I was a kid. Each component is like a work of art. Check out the crankset. 

After I got over admiring these components I was able to bolt them onto the frame. 

So this is the status of the bike build. Next step cable it up and adjust everything.

Bike Build: Wheels

The wheels for this bike I build last winter. It was a winter project. I didn’t know I would be building a bike this winter. I thought I would be using them on my Scott bike. My Scott bicycle has been my number one bike for several years. It is black with red trim, hence the black rims and red hubs. I’m going to use these wheels for this build to keep it all built by Steve. Besides the black rims go with the black seat post and the black components I will use for this build. The red hub look good with the green frame. Here’s what they look like:

I bought the rims, hubs and spokes from a store called BikeHubStore.
They are Kinlin XT31T rims with SL85/SL210 red hubs, CX Sprint spokes and of course a Campy 11speed freehub.

This the rear wheel with the Campagnolo Potenza 11 speed 11-29t cassette on it.
