70s, 80s and 90s retro builds have all been done, and for now, humanity has not managed to solve the riddle of the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future, ie., 'time', so it seems that the 00's are now looking pretty retro, and about to be hip.
Which got me thinking, I might actually want to build one of these monsters...
If you were going to build the seminal 00's road bike, what parts would you use, colours, dimensions, etc?
I was thinking...
-Early carbon frame, heavy, with primary colours, some kind of neon, or straight white, with garish patterns in the middle of tubes. Huge logos in high contrast colours everywhere.
-Dura Ace 7800/7900, 53-36t / 11-23t
-Early Garmin
-Aluminium clinchers, 20mm, with 21mm tyres
etc.
