thanks!
its actually pretty hard to get the new QS front der. adjusted. Those cranks have such a tight Q factor that the cage hits the crank before the chain shifts unless the positioning is just perfect.

That has to be the biggest weight sleeper bike ever made considering the frame is 1700 grams, the fork 500 grams, and that frame weight is probably spec'd for a 56cm. Combined with nothing exotic and to make 15.4 lbs is amazing.

maybe but i think the black actually looks quite nice. the carbon fork looks really old skool - no paint on it at all. the only thing i'm thinking about on that one is silver nikkon cables and white ergo hoods.

first change would be a full carbon easton ec90 sl. then a record seatpost.
eventually, if the frame isn't a perfect fit - i'd try the Ciocc EOM 16.5 which is a fair bit lighter.
but, hell its light enough. can't wait to see how it rides. my wife says hers is fantastic.
