New Tri bike Bout Done
Well here it is just bout done I have a carbon seat post coming and the puter has to be installed but this is about it! I must say as my first time true Tri Bike I'm verry happy with how it came out!! It has a mish mash of parts, 105 dirailures(darn we need spell check here...lol) and shifters, Campy Veloce brakes and Truvativ Elite cranks, Xlab rear wheel and Zipp 340 front, Weight so far is 20 lbs 9 oz. Considering this a 200 dollar frame and the carbon fork only cost $169! I'm very happy!! Oh and the Velce brakes and 105's are used I bought from a very reliable sourse wich has also kept cost's down. I did buy new bars wich did cost a few bucks and I had my local shop run the cables and set everything up but I allready owned the wheels. So what you see here cost me about $1,500. Not freakin bad for an all out Tri Bike!! Don't you think?
Thanks
Dwayne

What's nice about that rear wheel cutout is if you decide to run 35mm tires, it will get close to being an aerodynamic edge.
An aeroseatpost would look nice with that seat tube.
The bartape is nice if you need to be camoflouged (again, where is the spell check?)
And lastly, your rear wheel is on backwards.
ok, really lastly, it looks great, built up smartly, dollars where they belong and not wasted, and the rest of this post was just busting your chops, go fast.
