This was a fun build project. A customer wanted to upgrade a Momentum commuter bike he purchased from us, and we think it came out pretty solid. Build included a new rear wheel (Velocity Dyad/Deore) to accommodate the new 11 speed SLX/XT drivetrain. We added a Cane Creek Thudbuster seatpost, Surly Sunrise bars, DXR levers, XT V-brakes, SRAM Apex crankset and ESI grips. Definitely a unique bike! . . . . . . #baaw #cyclinglife #cyclingshots #commuterbike #bikecommute #wheelbuilder #bike #cycling #smtxperience #sanmarcos #txst #mural #custombike #surly #canecreek #1x11
