I'd go with a different stem. The diameter of the stem looks thicker than any tube on the bike. still a sweet bike for sure.

It's borrowed -10deg, it's a PRO Vibe triangular shaped stem 'for stiffness' and at only 120g can't complain. Most stems are heavier, S-works and Thompson are pigs. Enve, Ritchey have useless angles. I'm still 3cm higher than the bike that I've ridden for last 3 years, so looking at -12 or -17 deg, fielding suggestions.

This is it. I'm stopping here (I think). I'm in the 15lb limbo area. I can't really reduce any significant weight without dropping alot of cash. I'm going with narrower bars, but thats it.

Hot, you are incorrect though. For $70 you can get ti spindles for your pedals, and that will drop 64g. That's almost a dollar a gram. :)
I guess its all a money game and it all comes down to what your willing to spend...at this point...I don't feel like spending no more. :D Maybe in a few months...I'll pop for the Ti spindles. The white stem will go when I get the Zipp stem and bar. |
the zipp csl are not 300g's

Ha...I did think about the Ti spindles...I've been thinking about it for a while...but never acted on it. I'm going in circles with weight. I'm adding about ~100gr by going from my EC90(195gr) to the Zipp CSL. I know I can drop weight in the saddle by going with the carbon railed Romin Pro.

quick update:
the RB-1 now has a true threadless set up. I found and extra period correct Ritchey double crown fork that had enough steerer for the threadless conversion. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7071/7...d04b28ce_z.jpg new threadless headset too (cane creek classic 100 1"). I needed a setback post so I went with a Thomson Masterpiece. Looks a little funky, but I'll sacrifice the bend for better fit. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7078/7...4677d6d1_c.jpg Velocals sells the proper decal set for the specific tubing (seat tube and blade decals) for the RB-1. It was only $8 w/ free shipping too! They also have all sorts of hard to find decal sets. http://www.velocals.com/media/00/a20...ea7242c8_m.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7085/7...f033ef5a_b.jpg |

Classic build with SRAM? Not good...

runningdoc, That bike is beautiful. One of the best of all the bikes on this forum, well done!
|
Hot!!!
|
bridgestone is looking gorgeous...could be my eyes fooling me, but is the saddle tilted back a bit? Could be the seatpost setback bend throwing me off...regardless, smoking hot! absolutely love the closeup photo of the fork/headtube/stem...work of art!

runningdoc is that a 27.2 post and if so how well does it fit? Nice call on finding a fork from a huge frame and cutting it down. The green decals really add to the aesthetic!

Recent eBay pick up: TCR SL Advanced w/Zipp 101s - replacing my old CAAD9. It's 2 lbs lighter and, surprisingly to me, stiffer than the old bike.

The RB1 is hot and I appreciate that it has a modern group.
Edited to add - every so often, I see an RB1 chained on the block that I work on. I soooo want to free it from its life of neglect. |
