Polyvalent Build List - Paved Path to Double Track Rover
From Mike:
"I just wanted to pass along a note that I am completely satisfied and enjoy every ride on my new Polyvalent (diamond frame). I ordered the frame from you and took it to my local shop, Freewheel Bike in St. Paul, MN, where their service manager Patrick picked out parts to build a terrific bike. One of their Sales Leads, Aaron, took some pics so I thought I'd share with you. This is my vehicle of choice when I escape to the backroads - and it's so much fun around town too!
I love all parts of the bike. The headset and hubs are incredibly smooth. The stem, seatpost, and rack are rock solid. Not pictured are the Grand Cru brake levers, which look so good and perform exceptionally well. I do have some non-VO parts that I love on this bike too - but I tried to use the best stuff that you have to offer. I was also excited, and somewhat surprised, to see the Yokozuna reaction housing fit through the frames internal routing."
