Finally got the rear wheel. Doing some stretching to make up for that 3.5cm headtube drop from my last TT bike, but other than shortening the extensions, it's done and ready to race.

My TT bike has been complete for a while, but never had a chance to take pictures. I'll be taking it out to Santiago Canyon tomorrow for the UC Irvine TT.

I just picked up my disk cover from Wheelbuilder.com. I've known Rich, the owner, for a while but I'd never been to his shop. It was absolutely astonishing. There are Zipps, Reynolds, Blackwell, and Edge wheels hanging from every wall with Powertaps galore. He made the cover while I waited using a pretty cool jig he made to cut the templates.

How do you like the wheelbuilder disc? How does it feel from a durability standpoint? I'm a quick mouse click away from buying one to fit my 404s...

It seems pretty solid. I'm not very worried about it cracking or breaking. Disk cover+404 is seems like a fast combo.

Rich had an awesome setup laying around in his shop. A blackwell 100+ Powertap+ disk cover. That would be a very versatile setup. If its super windy you just take off the cover and its cheaper than a Zipp PT disk.

I haven't done an accurate tally yet but I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $650-$700. I already had the wheels, seatpost, saddle and aerobars.
That leaves:

Frame- $140
Fork- $100
Crankset- $140
Brakes- $50
Levers- $40
Derailleurs- $85
Disk Cover- $80
= $635+ Misc (headset, cables, housing, etc)

Still trying to get the fit totally dialed in. I feel just a bit stretched out, but I will have that all worked out pretty soon.

Did you have to shim/spacer your cassette slightly off of your wheelbuilder cover? I just got one for my Ptap/Deep-V and the freewheel won't engage because the cassette fits too tightly to the cover.

Did those have to be strung all the way through the internal routing or do they stop where the cable goes into the frame? Either way, I'm sure it took a six pack to do that.

They stop where the cable goes into the frame. It actually didn't take more than half an hour to do. I had them black/silver alternating on the CR1 and got so many comments on it that I figured I'd do it for the P2 too, since I had a few red ones left over from a previous project. Thanks for the bike comments, haha, I've spent way too much time and energy trying to make it look pretty, when instead I should just concentrate on riding it faster
