It Has Begun NYC Edition

Last week Tony got his Milwaukee Package in the mail and today mine arrived. A lot of great parts to go towards the new MKE 700cmx [not the official name of the bike]. Thomson bits, Chris King headset, toeclips!! [dimension clips are great btw], Twisted PCs, a new helmet [slick!] and some new Sugino 75s.

I can’t wait to build up this bike. Should be here soon enough. Well, not soon enough, but hopefully next week?
