Hi,
Finally got the new stem so I could get the cables cut to final length and the steerer tube close to final length:
Short version of the saga is that this is my much anticipated (over a year
) 50th birthday present to myself. After mulling over many frames in my head and on BF, I ordered a custom Serotta Attack -- my first-ever custom frame. Started building it up in late August and after a couple of stem miscues, it's done.
15.75 lbs exactly as shown (WITH pedals and bottle cages)
I bought a 2006 Record group last year because I wanted the same feel as the 2003 Record group on my Look.
The Profile bottle cages that I bought on sale last winter ended up being perfect for clearing the front derailleur clamp
:
The fork barely clears the hub on my race wheels (2002 Zipp 303):
However, Serotta has indicated that they will swap my current fork for a redesigned fork later this year. Good thing I wasn't planning on using these wheels soon.
I rode the bike around the block a couple of times to make sure that everything works. It felt great.
Easy club ride with it tomorrow using my Mavic Ksyrium clincher wheels. Will add a ride report tomorrow.
Too bad my birthday is so late in the year as I probably won't race on this until next year.
