I also put a 4mm spacer under my bars. I shall see how the fit changes work out. Anyway w/o any further wait. Here is the result. Vuka Sprints, and all!

Sophistry - A subtle, tricky, superficially plausible, but generally fallacious method of reasoning.

+1. Those pics are about to make $400 dissapear from my wallet.

i would have continued the bar wrap part way around the curve as it would result in a smoother transition but those are still sexy bars.

VA_Esquire 12-29-11 12:28 PM

Those bars? I want that bike.

I plan to do that next time. I was just reusing the old bartape from my K-Wings. I need to order some new stuff now. I wish my LBS would stock Fizik Microtex. I had them order it 5 times last year.

BTW thanks guys, I am glad you like the bars, and the bike.

Try REI, the one here has black and white microtex.

Try some black Lizard skin...pricey, but your rig deserves it!

The new stem has a 4mm taller stack height, so no spacers will be used. The problem is the Parts of Passion headset cap doesn't sit well on the spacer so I moved it below the stem. It fits better that way. This is only temporary.

Yeah, I like supporting the LBS as much as I can.

somehow that thing pulls off loud.

i cant help but think that black hoods and black housing to the RD would look better but as is i dont hate it.

Soloist Assassin 12-29-11 02:18 PM

Those wheels look great on that bike. They accent it perfectly. The white hoods need to go however. I'd say it's about 100deg Fahrenheit.

I <3 Robots 12-29-11 02:26 PM

Trying to have some fun with the rear derailleur housing. I was just some leftover Aztec cable from my Cannondale.

The white hoods are starting to split...so I may go black when I replace them.

Lol...thanks SA.:D

WHOOOSSHHH... 12-29-11 02:35 PM

Needs 3T stem...but in the 90 degee category!!

miyata man 12-29-11 02:40 PM

But how does it fare in height?
