A relatively modest addition to the gallery:



The basis of the bike is a 58cm 2012 Specialized Allez E5 frameset that I got off of eBay. It replaced the 61cm 2011 Allez E5 frameset that I bought when I thought I needed a lot of head tube. I transferred the majority of the parts off the 2011, with the exception of the crankset. The parts are:

DA 7800 shifters and RD
Force FD
FSA SL-K Light BB30 crankset (39/53)
Deda RHM01 bars
Specialized Multi-Comp stem
Selle Italia Turbomatic saddle
Ultegra 6600 brakes
Handbuilt wheels - DT Swiss RR465 rims, Ultegra 6700 hubs, 32 spokes laced 3X
Michelin Krylion 700x25 tires
King stainless cages

Weight, less the seat bag, is 19.06 lbs. I could lose a pound by switching wheels, and may in the future, but it's not going to happen soon. The wheels this bike will usually wear will be slightly heavier than the ones pictured - Open Pros with a PT.

The fit on this bike is just about perfect. I'll get it refined at the end of the month when I try out the local Retül guy.
