Not my newest build as my bike now sits, but this photo was between when I got it (complete bike @ <$190!), and some first alterations. Now it is nearly stock; except still needing DT 1st gen 105 shifters, and "Biopace" chainrings (available cheap at my LBS). This photo still has LOOK pedals and OFMEGA derailleurs still on it, with bar-end shifters. I was able to find a great set of 105/1050 pedals with the plastic cages still in great shape, but I ride LOOK so I left the "clipless" pedals in place .This frame rocks; just rode this past weekend on it. My frame is a 58cm, should seem large (I ride 52-54cm), but feels just fine. You should enjoy it once you get it fit to your body, but over 25 miles is not for me on it; my back!
Sweet looking bike! I saw a 54cm version of the Linear, and it didn't look as good. I think this frame looks best when it's either 58cm or 62cm- it looks the most dramatic!
Anyways my project is stalled at the moment- I am transferring the whole RSX group and the RSX hub wheel over to a Bianchi I am putting together for my wife. The Linear will get a tri-color 600 group. I just need to get another rear wheel built for it.
