Here is a Javelin Amarone I put together from a frameset I bought on Ebay NEW for $300. I finished it Saturday afternoon and went on an 82 mile ride with it on Sunday! Wt was right at 17.70#'s as pictured, I have some lighter wheels and pedals that I plan to put on that can get it real close to being under 16#. I ended up spending $1503 in it like you see it in the pic and it was built with mostly new parts and no parts from Chinese companies.
I know the one hood is misaligned this pic was taken after the ride and it got bumped taking it out of the truck I just didnt notice it prior to taking the pic. I also have a 90mm Thomson stem coming along with a Thomson seat post collar.
Build:
Javelin Amarone Carbon frame, Zero fork and FSA headset NEW $300 Ebay
Ultegra FD/RD/shifters/brakes new take off $410
Ultegra crank NEW $148
Oval 327's with training tires tubes and SRAM 1050 cassette $270
Thomson Maseterpiece Seatpost NEW $65
Thomson stem NEW $75 (pic has FSA)
Selle Italia saddle used $35
Easton EA70 aerobar used $35
Dura Ace chain new $46
Dura Ace Bottom Bracket $55 new
Jagwire cable kit $36
Lizard Skin bar tape $38

Well, LMK what you guys think of my budget tri bike build. I figured the road bike would be a bigger hit here but will give this a tri, lol. I don't have the MC build sheet but I have less into this one than the road bike I posted above. I used some older 9-speed Dura Ace/Ultegra drivetrain parts I had along with a set of Spinergy Blades of Death 650c wheels for an old school look. I really like the bike and it fits me well. No rides with it yet but have it set up on the trainer and may take it out this weekend. It was the same Ebay deal new $300 frame set. In case your wondering I didn't buy anymore,lol.

Put on the Flo 30s. Bike is still abject poverty and needs a black crank which it will never get because I'll replace the frame before the crank:

FWIW, I've got 700x23 Michelins on my CAAD9 and 700x 25s Michelins on my Allez E5, and they're fine on chip seal.

Now that I have these wheels I need to start lowering pressure I guess. It's 23mm from bead to bead, 25mm from the outsides of the brake track. I need to just experiment with what I have. Thanks for the tire recommendation.
