New rig..... with pics.
I got the new rig all set up and out for a test ride this past week-end.
I know marin isn't known for their road frames, but this thing is fantastic. (Steerer will be trimmed soon, don't worry.)
No it's not a dork disk on the back, it's FSA's aero hub. Looks a little odd, but they're different, and from what I've seen so far, the wheels are very nice.
FSA K-wing bars keep the cables from the Chorus shifters nice and neat. I hadn't riden Campy much before, bu am really enjoying their stuff.
FSA K-force crank and Record Rear Derailer (Carbon and Titanium goodness), and KEO classics on for pedals, but they may soon be replaced with some KEO carbons.
Other goodies:
-the fork is full full carbon monocoque
-chorus brakes and front derailer
-FSA SLK seatpost
Soon to be added
- Arundel Dave-O bottle cage
Thank goodness for shop employee discounts.

I heard the mixed reviews about the wheels aswell, but I'm willing to give them a try, I'll post again once I get some more miles on them to give a better review.
