Red valve covers are the exact place to play with colours.

Hot. I think this one would look better with white bar tape and black hoods though.

That sounds like a sarcastic jab at ucimbz as in you think his red stem caps are fugly .....no? ;-)

It's a joke. His bike is fantastic.

Holy beautiful bike UCI. I can't believe you haven't posted it before or at least I haven;t seen it. Just on a curiosity note. How many bikes do you have currently built up ready to ride? Because you have one hell of a usable stable.

Wow - sub 10. Impressive.

NOT! to all on the page before!

ALL AWESOME! but NOT!

That bike is just smokin hot. Hands down the best bike ever posted in this thread. Would not change anything ... including the chain ... the gold adds a nice contrast. Well done!!

Wut?

It is hot but I would not agree necessarily to the hottest in this thread.

Have to post mine now that I have all the parts on it/ got the time to pose it.

i appreciate the attempt at the red but UCI is correct. the problem is that you have a lot of red accents and then the seat post and spacers are too red. i still think the matching 3t post with a red stripe and black spacers would completely change the look if the bike for the better.

How bad is the flex on your AX stem? I felt like I could snap the 120mm Zeus in half.

It's ok but I'm not that heavy...the saddle/saddle rails make me a little nervous.

I could see that.

What Moots frame do you have?

that saddle position doesn't look comfortable at all. Is it just me or do the drops of your bars look ginormous!?
Nice bike, but its a NOT for me.

6/4 SL...most of the parts for the Scott were on the Moots...now I'm putting the Moots back to an everyday ride.

I am going to be honest and please don't take his the wrong way but i don't get it. Neither the expense of building a sub 10 pound bike nor doing hill repeats on it. Not sure if you race but personally as a racer I would rather do hill repeats on my 2000g 32h handbuilts, two full waterbottles, pockets full of food, a frame pump and saddle bag as opposed to a 10 pound bike which I could never race as it falls below uci limits.
Bike is beautiful, i just don't get it.

I don't need 2kg wheels and that bike does just fine with two full bottles. I carry food, co2 & pump in my pockets like they're designed to do.

I think you may have missed my point. Generally speaking a rider would do hill repeats in an attempt to get stronger. Much like wearing a weighted vest the added weight of a bike in training trim forces you to work harder thereby improving your fitness and strength on race day. Just trying to understand motive, that's it.

The motive is to have a very light bike for training and racing. To each their own.

True enough. Unfortunately I couldn't race on it for two reasons:
1. Too fat (that's for you fuggers in the 33)
2. Doesn't meet weight standards

It is beautiful nonetheless

lol I'm with rkwaki, I dont understand why you would want to have a lighter training bike and race with a heavier. like you said, "to each their own" but I dont see how that logic will help anyone become stronger come time for race day. BUT, it is hard to argue how beautiful it is. If you have the money to spend on a bike like that for training, I'd love to see your race bike.

Intervals in a hr zone/watts don't care. It was a fun project and I don't use the gears for my hill repeats/intervals...so I got rid of them.

Spacers only look bad because there is a stack above the stem... Plus, 3T seatpost is heavier!
