All City Nature Boy

(Some may have already seen it here: http://www.fixed.org.au/forums/t17954/)

I wanted to build up a bike with a freewheel and brakes, so after tossing up between 3 or so options I ended up with an All City Nature Boy.

Frame: All City Nature Boy + fork
Headset: Chris King
Stem: Thomson Elite
Seatpost: Thomson Elite
Seat: Fizik Arione
Bars: Funn
Grips: Odyssey Chase Hawk
Brakes: Avid Single Digit SL
Levers: Avid FR 5
Cables: Shimano XTR
Wheels: Phil Wood hubs laced to Mavic Open Pros 36 hole.
Freewheel: White Industries Trials 18t
Cranks: Sugino Messenger 170mm and Sugino bottom bracket
Chainring: Cycle Underground 46t
Pedals: Time Atac

Still needs full fenders, matching headset spacers and some small tweaks, and I'm not 100percent certain I like the Arione saddle(and current saddle height, needs to be slightly lower) so we will see how it goes in the future. I've got some knobbies and a smaller chainring coming so it will get some dirt action, but its main use will be commuting.

Shout out to Evan at Cyclic for building my wheels, organising my frame and installing my headset and bottom bracket.

Looks sweet man, but why did you go down the SS path instead of fixed?

I've commuted fixed for the past 4 years, I thought it was time to switch it up a little. It is also a bit easier to ride off road with a freewheel and I plan to at least hit up a bit of single track and the Gravel Grinders rides here in Melbourne.
