Turns out I was able to find components around here beyond reasonable priced. Ancient, road-rash, big Dura-Ace crankset plus Shimano 600 side-pull brakes. NOS 105 9-speed shifters. Seatpost and stem purchased from the frame’s seller. Dura-Ace 9-speed RD I already had. Same for handlebars. The entire thing assembled at Woody’s Bike Shop. Bike still needs a different front fork – carbon fiber, probably. Also junky plastic bottle cage I had in a parts bin in the garage. This frame will never make a cyclocross bike – rear stays clearance w brakes installed allows for maximum width 28mm tires. Panaracer Paselas 650c in that width allow for a little surface versatility, but lack of clearance contraindicates success in muddy conditions. My son loves the bike. Here are a few pictures of the Modikoso so far:
