Besides, I got the Speed-EZ at cost.

if you don't want fixed fenders, then cruds are the only way to go, although they have an achilles heel: they don't work with cannondale 2.8s.

found this out the hard way.

I bought my Crud RoadRacers through Petra Cycles in the UK. They arrived in a timely manner as promised. I received the standard order confirmation and an "item shipped" email.

BSS told me that Crud won't be selling these in the US market this year (maybe in 2010?).

Let me know if you want to see them...

pbk and wiggle have them.

based on the install of my front fender, they're super easy to mount.

I know, but it's so much easier than having to stuff a pump in my jersey pockets. Plus the hose and the little foot fold-out thing are so damn handy!

full-length frame pumps are so much classier, though.

Bye, bye Velo Vie...Hello BH G5 for the 2010 race season.

Sorry for the crappy lighting The white stem is still a maybe. I'd planned on switching to black but only had the white when I built it. Now it's staring to grow on me. What do you think?


Integrated front derailleur clamp. According to BH it's incredibly strong and I shouldn't worry about it breaking in a crash. hmm....


It's BB30 but BH provides these if you don't want to switch cranks.

Leave the white stem alone...it looks good with the white bar tape and white seat..it wil look ALOT better when you get rid of those spacers, cut the fork tube and slam it...then it will all come together..HOT!!
but that is as nice nice bike...

Long live the King - ’10 TCR Advanced SL (ISP)

14lbs, 6oz as pictured: Ritchey WCS aluminum cockpit, SRAM Red, ee brakes, Rotor 3d crankset (titanium spindle, 175mm), KCNC chain rings and bolts, Quarq Cinqo, DA 7810 pedals, Selle SMP Evolution saddle , Edge 1.38 tubulars, 20/24, DT Swiss 240s







Need to make a final cut of the steerer tube and put in the final spacers. Still waiting for Edge to send my 1.68 tubulars with DT Swiss 190 ceramic bearings!

Unfortunately, I dropped the ball when I ordered the Rotor cranks and didn’t specify a red cap, so they sent me gold?! Will either go back to running the gold KMC X10SL chain and get some gold chainring bolts or order red caps for the cranks.
How does that Selle SMP saddle feel? im considering getting one....

I have an SMP. I love it. Mine's the carbon one with a leather cover. Fine for 4+ hour rides. No numbness or taint pain because there's nothing there on the saddle.

Crap, sorry I missed this... then I went out of town. I'm back now if you want a look-see (they're not installed right now, but that's quick to change if needed).

No worries I went with Botto's advice and got the Cruds off Wiggle.

I actually agree. As much as I like the whole white trim look, I think that this frameset just begs for a stem that flows smoothly with its paint job. A black stem dropped down to the HT would look better imo. Keep the other white bits though, and sconsider a pair of white striped tires for your next set.

Also from a purely aesthetic standpoint, a black carbon crank would look much better on your bike. I know that DA cranks are incredibly functional though so that last part will be hard to justify.

Oh and some black zero g's too .
