Group Buy - Neo Exile carbon frameset/bike groupbuy

This looks great. I am in the tentative camp, more out of my own financial situation than the offering. This groupbuy looks fantastic.

Patrick,

Is there a rider weight limit for the frame?

where do i sign?

seriously, great offer at a perfect time. Is the rival you're offering the 09 rival?

thanks for such a great opportunity!

Patrick,

Is there a rider weight limit for the frame?

no it doesn't.

will update the info for ordering and payment method soon.
yes those are all 09 models.

Patrick,
Prices look niiiice, except I have a campy question. I assume those prices are for 2009, 11sp. Any way you can get 2008/10sp for cheaper? Or, maybe 2009 Centaur level?

I prefer campy, but the price difference between SRAM Red and Chorus is insane (I know it's not YOUR fault)...

sorry i dont have any source for 10sp series any more..
Centaur price updated in both alu and carbon versions.

God bless the Euro eh?

Great pricing Patrick...at some point shipping needs to be discussed when you are ready.

thanks

AMEN..

i'll let you know the details of this part soon..

sorry i dont have any source for 10sp series any more..
Centaur price updated in both alu and carbon versions.

Ah well, worth asking...

I don't see Centaur listed at all..?

Thanks

was still editing..
now you can see.

Good pricing, worth the wait. Will you sell just gruppos?

was still editing..
now you can see.

oops =) thanks!

hmm...carbon's cheaper than alu?

holysh*t typo..
fixed.

That's a classy looking frame.

That's a classy looking frame.

really glad to hear that thanks a lot dude..
a classy look is exactly what I want..

Is dura ace still to be expected?

Any options on stem angle?

Late to the party but, are you doing the groupsets by themselves or only as part of a frameset purchase?

Is dura ace still to be expected?

yes

Any options on stem angle?

only +/- 6 degrees..

anyone worrying about patrick`s credibility can take my word for it, he`s very trustworthy. i`ve had a number of frames and parts from him, and everything has always been on the money. i had ONE problem with shipping and he replaced the frame no Qs asked - on another occasion he sent me a frame (one for my own use) even when i didn`t have the cash to pay him - he trusted me to pay him.

so, for whatever it`s worth, don`t worry about his credibility!

and don`t that black NEO look HOT???!!!

what's a NEO? Is it like Pedal Force?

what's a NEO? Is it like Pedal Force?

it's a brand, which is like Pedal Force....if that's what you're asking..

only +/- 6 degrees..
:lol:

I'm in. Just subscribing to the thread.

Subscribing, but I have a question. :p

When the time comes, will the easton wheels be obtainable with different hubs, or will they be standard with the taller shimano 10 speed hub profile?
Not too big a deal if you run a shimano cassette, but moreso if anyone would use a complete sram group (or specifically cassette).

i think this is prolly where i should say, im new at this and interested... help?

what's a NEO??

Keanu's Bike.

can one buy a frameset with the steerer tube uncut?

can one buy a frameset with the steerer tube uncut?

I'd hope that would be the default..

I like this.

Shipping is to be worked out I assume?

What do we need to do to get on this? What are the deadlines?

warranty and shipping info updated.

Did we ever hear about buying just groupsets?
And is there any way we could get gigantex rims laced to decent hubs with CX-Ray spokes for a reasonable price, or is that just too much to ask?

^^yea i was wondering the same about the groupset only as well.

AM I the only one that can no longer see the geometry chart?

yea

1. Is there enough frame and fork clearance for 25 or 28 mm tires?
2. In a prior thread you discussed substituting some Rival parts with Microshift. Is the current offering full Rival? The 2009 Rival looks very nice.

huh?
how about now?

1. I'm afraid not..
2. yes full Rival. Microshift levers are not friendly with larger hands..

^^yea i was wondering the same about the groupset only as well.

yeah i can do that.
there will be plenty of options in the order sheet, which i'm still working on.

This is nitpicking and a minor issue, but the more I look, the more the typeface used for the 'Exile' on the top tube looks weird to me. Would you consider switching that, or not putting it on as an option?

are you talking about the "Exile" font?
I've tried many and this is one I'm happy with..
unless you can find me a better one, I think I'll stick with the current version for now.

Apparently still no pricing on the new DA 7900?
I am subscribed to this thread and eagerly await the order form.

I see that you are trying to build a brand, perhaps, with the Neo and Exile....

But - and I may speak for others - what are the possibilities of playing down the logo some?

Could the black bike have a black logo, and the white have a white or grey logo? Something that still lets you get the name out - but keeps it modest for those that aren't into the stark logo placement....

Have you seen Specialized, Cannondale, et al lately? This in comparison is very tastefully done.

But I'm/we're not paying for a Specialized/Cannondale . . .
