New Crustation

Remember this? Well, it now looks like this:

2024 Crust Cantilever Lightning Bolt, XS in Light Sea Green

The build is nearly complete - just got to sort out the front rack, and wrap the handlebars and drive-side chainstay. It's pretty similar to my black 2022 Lightning Bolt, though I'm using Crust's dynamo wheelset, a Sutro Quill Stem from Soma Fabrications, and of course, have added a set of Velo Orange wavy fenders

Once I get it complete, I'll provide details and a bit more context about why on earth I have built a nearly exact duplicate of a bike I already own. More anon...
