Klunker build

-
So, almost 6 years after buying the frame and most of the parts I'm finally going to build it. :)
These are the parts I'm building it with, had a few changes over the years.

Ah ya, it is a Klunker build!
Beautiful work n coming together nicely. I share the thought that a short cage cyclone won’t reach everything you gear combo you have with the triple ta and rear cluster. Maybe a vgt long cage or even an honor long cage? The honor should be easy too find. But the vgt would be like bling. Both are real actively bomb proof. V gt is still able too be found if you are looking but is going up as they get older/re recongnized.
