This is how I ride it on Crit and at the local velodrome. I do have another bike that I ride on risers and low rims (It had to be disassembled), I will put a picture of it when it’s looking more complete again

fyi this is not a deep east where deep drops and deep rims are appreciated
riser and stealth wheels are the way to go
see you in the final build :)
Looks painful to ride on the streets but for the velodrome probably quite okay! I was looking for those wheels for my Parallax a while ago, but wasn’t able to find a pair for sale anywhere in Europe :<

Also way too many logos (and wrong ones - the right ones can be found at the skenepyörä-tobacs) and if the enve is fake then dear sir/madam you have failed this build.

Me neither... actually had to message American Classic themselves and they told me what store to contact, and once I didn't get any answer from the store they checked it directly and made sure the store would contacte me... Amazing Customer Service...
(This all took more than a month off course and meanwhile just so it happened that the track team here had a new sponsor and couldn’t ride A.C. so I got it from them)
Sorry man but I do not know what you mean by “the wrong ones” I do agree the wheels comes with too many logos and I considered removing them and leaving only the white/red american classic… but once I used to think the Mavic Ellipse had too many stickers on it and now I think different, so, not removing any.
Buy anything second hand will never give me a 100% garantee that it’s real or fake. The people and places I buy from I vouche for them.
The seatpost, which was still quite expensive and I almost sold it to make money, I got from a roadie fellow I know (not really friends) who bought new bike with different measure.

Back to around the cnc-machine with this one.
this is a sincere request: please do not put miche cranks on this frame. if it’s handmade to your specs, please give it some love and put some better cranks on it. like sugino, campagnolo or dura ace.
nice choice for fork material - aluminum is the best.
