This bike by Maple is the 1st built I've seen that has the 650c front wheels to make the pursuit geometry efficient. Custom Frame and fork by Ave Maldea to meet all corners according to their specifications plus a special glitter metal flake on the paint which has made the frameset outstand. Dura Ace NJS parts also come into place that make this build special plus the Araya rims. This is a counter part of Lawrence's SSP  build. More pictures can be seen at the Pedal Room.

  1. Hi! Very nice bike.:)

    I have a question regarding the dura ace crank. Just recently, I bought a DA 7300, but the threaded hole of the crank arm (where the pedal is attached) is oversized. Can you recommend me a solution for this? I want to use a standard pedal.

    Thank you in advance. It will be a big help to me:)
