There is no formal weight limit, but larger sizes will flex, this frame is a medium (54cm TT) and given it's a compact frame is pretty stiff

If I'm not mistaken, they're not drilled - they clamp in place with pressure.

not my best craftsmanship, but it gets the job done.

Dude - you've got unadorned dimensional lumber in what appears to be your dining room and you're proposing it as a superior solution?

What you are missing is that those are oil paintings of bikes, and the wood is the easel. It is absolutely brilliant.

I'm pretty sure Ted Kaczynski would have approved...

785 grams, what size is it? pretty light frame. and 272 gr fork, Most forks i've seen are in the upper 300 gr range.

ummm...he already said it was a medium...:crash:

these babies are no longer in production of course, but they were indeed spec'd without rider weight limits...there's plenty of history on the interwebs on the pros and cons of this ultra light thin wall ti frameset. regardless...it's HOT as far as I'm concerned

Did they come in adult sizes too?

The Reynolds UL is a 300gr fork and then the steerer was cut to 200mm, reducing the weight even more.

The ENVE 1.0 is the current equivalent or you could go lighter with the THM Scapula SP.

You could have leaned them up against the wall for free. It worked in my apartment dwelling bachelor days.

now that I am married, I used a mount that spans studs. It only takes two screws to hold it. It is no different than hanging a mirror or large picture.

Nice bike, what happened to the tires?

right and a bike rack from the LBS is a bunch of steel bars held together by a handful of screws, not wood 1x4's. I think I can finally see where you're coming from.

I'm just not a fan of having to knock around looking for the hard wood, but instead having something that's mobile.

Thanks. Those are freshly laced NOS hubs and tubular rims. I haven't decided on tires yet and unlike clinchers, I don't have spares hanging around. I will have tires glued on for spring.

here it is with clinchers:

Seriously. If you want to do that, make a HrN - Rack Edition thread.

Don't buy Tufo, they used to be pretty good but not so much anymore.

thirdgenbird 01-13-14 07:25 AM

It will get veloflex or deda tires.
