ruskko bike looks good man. The red tires are a bit much for me, but I like it nonetheless.

Jure, offers a couple different saddle shapes, and yes they are unpadded carbon, I rely on $250 Castelli bibs for padding. The one I had him build me was based off of a SLR C64 shape. He has tweaked the shape a bit to make it more comfortable, and flexible with his design. I am not sure what all shapes he offers at this time, but he is always working on new stuff, and advancing his skills. I used a SLR saddle before and I love the shape so it was a no brainer for me to go with that shape. Since it was a custom job, Jure did not want me to advertise the price, but he usually charges 350 euros for the round combos. Since I supplied my own aero post, and he just made a saddle, and glued it to on, and added supports, it was much cheaper. He also offered to make a mold of the Cervelo post, and make his own post, which would of been lighter, but a lot more money. Here is another angle.

wow, ok. Thanks for the info. your bike is so dead sexy!!! I was never a fan of those zip handle bars but the more I look at yours, the more I like them. Anything that you dont like about them?

Ok here's a re-try.

Hopefully this pic better captures the bike.

Shallow drops are the bomb!

Thanks! I love the vukas. The only thin that sucks about them is if you accidentally hit your knees on the sharp backside edge of them while climbing standing up. Other than that they are awesome!

bianchi10

is that the model you have, "vukas"?

Soloist Assassin

"Vuka Sprint" is the model.

A bunch of upgrades since the last post. Round 2:

Hot; stunning ride man!

That Teschner is smoking. (If it was in the right gear, that picture could be on a calendar.

I got a new phone last week and it was a nice overcast day yesterday, so I decided to finally take some pictures of the Manocoque, since I haven't taken any in the outdoors since the Upgrades. (Once again, these are cell phone pics)

WHOOOSSHHH...

Very nice X...better pics than I can take with a camera!!

X-LinkedRider

Yeah, I am terrible shot usually. I am actually finding that some of the cheaper cameras work well for me. These were taken with a Samsung galaxy, and the touchscreen auto focus feature is pretty sweet. I took the same picture from a slightly vertical angle looking down on the top tube and down tube. One picture I touched the top tube and the other I touched the down tube and the pictures came out totally different. My concept, now that you don't have to worry about cost of film like the old days, is to take as many pictures as possible. Usually you get at least a couple of decent ones. Lol.

Well done!

Great wheels.

Not feeling the caad love around here lately but what the heck.

After getting a carbon bike and riding it I was thinking I might sell this. I've done a few rides on it again lately though and I don't see any reason to sell it. It's a great bike. Needs a few upgrades though. Thinking mainly new seat post a bars. Tape needs to be replaced too at this point.



I'm sure someone will tell me to flip so here ya go.



Actually, I'm trying out a 0 degree stem. I'm not all that flexible yet but getting better with each ride.

Nice bike. Your only reason to sell it should be to get a caad10 or caad11 in the future. Get some black tape or new white tap and saddle.

bikerjp

Thanks. Planning to get black tape. That's the stock tape it came with. I don't think I'd sell it for a caad10. Last of the made in USA and all that. Would maybe sell it to get a supersix but even then it's a good backup or winter bike.

Just thought I'd give Raven another try with a clear photo. Raven's her name and she's a '12 Fuji Altamira 2.0. But only her headset, crank and brakes are stock components.

Get a good photo with a good background and the bike set up properly and you can probably get a hot. Until then, well, momma always told me if you can't say something nice......

primov8

Probably one of the best S2s I've seen... next to my previous '10 S2

Definitely HOT.



HOT.
