Here's my new rig. The fit is pretty dialed. Will more than likely drop the stem in a couple weeks. The wheels are temporary.
I love the new Antares saddle...it's the best on the market IMHO. The frame and fork have never been ridden...just happen to be a year old or so. SRAM Red is great as always. The RotoR Q-Rings are like cheating...I love them and swear by them. I recommend them for all types of riders.
Also...will have Tacx cages added tomorrow.

Hi,
Updated my TT bike:
* Used Zipp 909 disc from ebay (Seller didn't mention that it had a dent in the rim surface. Rim is out of true but not unrideable.
)
* New Hed 3C from ebay -- nice and true
* "Illegal" Hed Vantage 8 bars
* Thomson Masterpiece seatpost
Rode the bike today and already changed the stem from the adjustable Ritchey to a 73° Ritchey Pro -- the bars were a little low.
The bike weighs in at about 19.5 lbs.

My older seatpost was a SunTour Superbe Pro from the mid-1980s. I bought the Thomson because I needed a zero setback post for my reworked position.
Of course I probably need more reworking than my position.

Thanks. I thought that was really cool to have continuity between all of your bikes. I'm sad to see the Superbe go (as I recall those were one of the better seatpost designs, right?)

I have made some changes, upgrades and fit adjustments since the last time I posted it. Here it is, ready for my next race, a hill climb.

Interesting. I didnt't think Niobium rims could handle the tension of the CX-Rays.

So, I don't really race (hence the relatively upright position, but I'm working on that), but I was told I should post this here anyway. New De Rosa King 3. Did the first ride this morning. So sweet:
