The frame, fork and headset are original to the bike -- every other component has been replaced/upgraded. The original build was a mix of Shimano Ultegra/105 9-speed components and a Bontrager wheelset that I think was made of a lead alloy.
The ride is sublime, it climbs like a mountain goat and accelerates like a rocket (subject to the form & fitness of the motor, of course!
); I will never sell this bike!cheers,
Scott
p.s. And for the cynics, I do honor to the bike: my average pace is 25 to 35 kph, depending on distance and elevation gain...
