You’ll note on the previous post the wheels have been added. These are entry level Mavic Aksium 2009’s. Lovely wheels I think, bladed spoke and thankfully with easily removable stickers. A friend lost over a day with fingernails and lighter fluid trying to remove branding from rims, mine came off instantly leaving no glue residue.

The bottom bracket that Mario’s brother fitted for me is a Sugino 103mm bracket to fit the 48 tooth single crank I’ve also bought from Sugino (more on that later as I fit it):

And here it is close up fitting nice, clean and snug in the frame, you may even see a hint of the damn brown I can’t seem to capture in this shot:
