Started at 18.5lb, now around 17.4lb. New Wheelset should bring the complete bike with cages and computer to the 16 range. Thoughts?...... http://i43.tinypic.com/s66eth.jpg At first glance, I dismissed it as a "not". But after really looking, I like it. My vote is "HOT" Cool bike. |

Understood - but this is the hot or not thread. What you can or can't afford doesn't matter. Proper fit doesn't matter. A classic Colnago without Campy isn't as hot as one with IMO.

What makes this bike hot is the details. Love the crank and the saddle especially. Tires are a nice tie in too.

Functionally its awesome, but aesthetically could use some work. The F99 stem is awesome, but the polished look doesn't go with the rest of the frame. Also, I'd use a different crank, not necessarily rival, to match, but something not from the big 3.

WooHoo!! Just got a set of Hollowgram SL/SI's for $300 in 9/10 shape with everything included.
I'll probably get them on tonight and post picts of my bike since a few things have changed. The only slight problem is it is standard and I'd prefer compact. If anyone knows someone with a compact set and wants standard, let me know. |

oooo...
