Bits & pieces for a retro / crazy / art single speed build. Bits from Woodstock Cycle Works, some from Hubbers in Bloemfontein and Joburg. Spent half a morning polishing one handed and was so discouraged I dropped everything at Goldfingers to do it for me. Aiming for a near mirror finish like in the orange circle.

It is an electroplating business. They look a bit disorganized and I cannot recommend them yet, but I'll let you know once I get all my bits back, hopefully shining like mirrors!

A few nice upgrades sponsored by my wife for our anniversary!

New Eagle GX 12 speed with Csixx 32T Oval Chainring.

Those Mango hubs are awesome.

Bike Yoke 160mm dropper.... OMG it's buttery smooth... so, so smooth.  Super stoked.

 

Zee germans know their stuff and you can get every conceivable spare for it locally as well. Nice touch.

The last bits finally arrived to add to my new (albeit 2nd hand) commuter bike... can't wait to finally be able to ride the damn thing.

Is that a bell, I considered one for some of the shared trails I use, and the road of course, but that one looks very much not ugly, assuming it's a bell...
