This might be epic. Post results please.

Solid. Breeng eet!

Hopefully! Just need frame, brakes, and FD.

Uhh... change of plans. Will be a Soma.

Uhhh....er.....I just ordered a Ridley Crossbow...

What a waste of bandwidth.

What a waste of bandwidth.

Agreed. Please delete thread. What disappoint.

Why is it a disappoint? I'm still building up a cross race bike.. I just ordered a frame different from the one in the title. Eesh. It should be here early next week.

Frame. Not complete bike. Sorry, but I don't get what the problem is.

Oh, you didn't say frame. Sounded like you just ordered a complete bike which would have been a disappointment to those reading this thread. In this case, please proceed!!

Oh, sorry. Nope. I ordered a Ridley framset.

Stock photo.. should be here monday/tuesday. Was going to be friday but there was a sizing mix up.

Also, does anyone know what the little white thing right above/behind the BB is?

Blue is my least favorite color on a bike, but that is a good looking frame.

I have two blue bikes so I wasn't going to do it again, but I like it too. Not sure how the green tape will look on it..

Also, does anyone know what the little white thing right above/behind the BB is?It's a cable pulley so you can use a bottom-pull front derailleur with top-mounted cables.

Cool, thanks.

I'm kinda thinkin that neon green wraps aren't gonna go so well with that frame color.?.?.

I agree. But that's the color I want, so whatever, haha.

Got some STX calipers. Frame monday..

Dura Ace 7800 chainguard.

Here she is!

I'm envious.

What size is she, and what size crux would you have ridden?

I ask because I normally ride a 54, and would on crux, but in ridley's I seem to be a 48 which I find shocking.

It's a 56, but big. I have about 1 cm of standover height, seat tube and reach are perfect. I would have gotten the same size in a crux.

Oh, and thanks! :)

Nice to see it all assembled and ready to go. Now, can you please do it again with the Crux as promised? :lol:

Better pics.

Thanks, yep, 1x9. White would look good, but I really wanted to use green. That was the first part I bought.
