Raising the Abyss
I've had this frame built up for about a year now, but just added the Shamals yesterday -- loving it even more now.

Thanks -- I really do love it.
The fork is not original, but I've found a stock replacement and am debating installing it to bring the bike back to original specs & look.
Here's what happened to the original stock fork as a result of an unleashed dog doing a kamikaze impression on my front wheel while I was doing ~25mph. Considering what happened to the fork (and my body), it's pretty amazing that the frame is still intact. *knock on wood*

Funny how I overlooked those Treks years ago, but they really are nice looking bikes.

Now, as a WW, this I have a hard time believing. What it took to go from 14lbs, to 13lbs to 12.5 to just under 12, to where I have the bike now required 2 frame changes and a ton of WW upgrade parts. There is no way to hit the 12lb mark w/ only zg brakes and an 1100g set of wheels.

Frame is 985g, so not heavy but certainly not super-light. The ZG brakes are the only major part I would call weight weenie, but everythng else is light for "regular" parts. Actually now that I think about it, I guess the Nokon cables, KCNC skewers, and Extralite steerer expander plug & top cap could all be considered WW parts too

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Is it, now? Okay, let's see.
.. Hmm. You've got the chain in the middle of the cassette, not the small cog. The door isn't exactly white, but at least it's not graffiti'd concrete. The vantage point is kinda high, but that's not a big deal.
You're closer than a lot of 'em, though (including some of mine
).

not to mention the valve stems aren't hidden.

It's either have the Zipp decals presented nicely or hide the valve stems; or Photoshop the stems out.
