Matt's Polyvalent Dream Build
My Polyvalent is my do-it-all commuter. I have it setup ultra supple, with 26" tires and of course VO's awesome fenders. It's got an old-school wide-step double crank with a sweet dynamo light system and a basket, of course.
-VO Stainless Steel Fenders (pretty proud of the ultra-stiff front setup) + mud flaps
-Pass & Stow front rack, Tubus rear rack
-SONDelux front hub, White Industries rear hub, laced to Light Bicycle carbon rims w/ raw brass nipples!
-Compass Rat Trap Pass tires - SO SUPPLE
-Ritchey stem + seatpost
-Ritchey ergo bars
-Ergon saddle
-Outer Shell saddle bag + Swift basket bag
-B&M dynamo lights (thanks to Karl @ Perennial Cycles for the coax wiring job!)
-Camp and Go Slow bar tape
-Old skool Specialized 'Flag' cranks, setup as 40/24 wide step double w/ VO brass caps
-SRAM brifters, rear derailer + 11-36 cassette
-IRD 'sub-compact' front derailer from Rivendell
-Connex chain (I just got into waxing chains, and hot damn - so smooth!)
-Yoshimura pedals
-King stainless bottle cages
-Trailer hitch mount for the super sweet Farfarer trailer (for dog + firewood hauling duties)
-Spurcycle bell + Stem Captain clock (don't wanna miss the ferry!)
Keep up the great work!
