1996 Specialized A1 Road (56cm)

Before:

After:

Changes: Civia Emerson Shallow drop bar, 60mm stem, carbon fiber bottle cage, 13-26 Cassette, Oval Concepts Saddle

Will be going back to 100mm stem once I get used to being on a road bike and get a bit more flexible.
Thinking I'll leave the cassette until I can spin out the top gear on the flats.

This is my first road bike. I read a ton of posts on here, got fitted at a bike shop then bought from a guy on craigslist for $200. Pretty happy with it, can't wait for the weather to be above 40F.

Nice! Looks a lot like my 1995 raleigh r600 (looks like same handlebars originally). I see you're in KS, rock chalk (and if you support the other big school, boo to you lol)

Kamau 02-12-14 08:23 PM

Thanks, Rock Chalk all the way! If it weren't for basketball, winter would be so, so long.

Was watching some cyclo-x, the dismount looks cool but how they just jump back on that bike looks downright scary. Power to ya ;)

What saddle is that? Maybe it's just the photo, but the nose has a weird looking shape.

Hey guys! New to the site and thought this would be a good place to look to for answers. I am currently looking for a new road bike but am not sure what is a good deal. I have been looking at this http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...lt_dt_xiii.htm bike. I can not afford something super expensive but would like a good quality bike. I ride for exercise and enjoyment but I also ride for a lot of charities. One in which is a 150 mile ride it two days. Does anyone have any input, suggestions, etc... Thank you!

Custom built Guru frame with Dura Ace 9 speed. Old but reliable - climbed Mt. Washington a handful of times with this:

That bar tape really ties the bike together. Cool build.

nice! love it
I would think a carbon seat mast would be perfect on there but you pulled it off nicely with the matching stem
GF's are great frames!

Had to take my chance @ being a grammar nazi. Don't worry my punctuation is always wrong :D

Nice CAAD!
Before you get new pedals, remove the reflectors, & dork disc. ;) :lol:
