Pre-ride :: D2R2 :: Clint's Club Racer

D2R2 is a little more than a week away so all of our burly rides are starting to come together.

Clint's bike is a Steel Club Racer with a painted to match pump. Painted pumps are where it's at. We should really start to offer this as an option, it just rounds out the package so nicely.

A nice set of handbuilt wheels is practically a necessity for this ride. Here we have White Industry hubs laced up to some Mavic Open Pros and a wide ratio cassette.

Comfy seat.

His fenders are there to keep the evil kitten of the woods from pouncing upon his tires and fang-puncturing his latex tubes.

More to come on these evil kittens. We have a team in the woods documenting their activities now.

real nice build. back in the day, when I was selling Serottas, the painted silca pump (w/ a Campy head of course!) was a popular option.
cool to see it again.

I have a black club racer too which would look great with that pump.

How about making pumps in custom colours available via the online shop :)

Also, could i also ask what brand are the fenders?

That particular section of the ride is the scariest. There have been many reports of evil kittens in that area.

What width tires will Clint use?

Narrower wheels are great for the uphills and need a steady hand for the downhills, at least on the 2009 version of the 100k D2R2.

Have fun Clint!
