Stiffest bars I've ever used as well. I paid just over $200 on ebay if I remember correctly.

Did you buy them used, or new? If new, you remember who you bought them from? I think I may just have to do it, those look like exactly what I want. Although I think I want the hoods up closer to the flats, for a smoother transition.

Can I ask what she weighs?

Thanks! Never got around to getting it on the scale for a final weigh in, but just spec'ing out all the part weights, I come in at right around the 18lb mark.

At any rate, some asked for some better pics, so i was able to snap a few more. I know its not everyone's cup of tea, but for my purposes - mainly commuting and group rides on the weekends it suits them perfectly. :o

That is a rad build. Hot. I may be biased though.

I'm not biased - hot is hot and that is hot.

I got them from The Pros Closet on ebay. Brand spanking new. That pic was when I first got them. I trimmed the ends down, and I repositioned them since that pic. This is how they are now. The transition is perfect now.

Are your legs 6' long or something? That saddle height looks ridiculous!

I'm pretty sure I have this picture saved like 100 times. Everytime it comes up I hit right-click save.

Soloist Assassin 10-02-12 11:24 AM

Thanks guys. Glad you guys share my taste.

I do have a short torso, and long legs, and arms. The custom Berk saddle/post combo makes it look a bit longer than it is. I run about 5.5" of saddle to bar drop.

I love that crankset btw. My favorite part next to the Berk combo. BTW for those that don't know me. That bike is 13.07lbs as pictured. ;)

omg :eek::love:

What sort of scale are you using to determine the weight? I've done the "stand on bathroom scale (digital), then stand on it holding bike, subtract" thing, but I'm not sure if it's too accurate. The other day it came out to 22 lbs, then I added a computer to the bike, and yesterday it was 21.6 lbs :lol:

Feedback Sports Alpine Scale. It belongs to my LBS. I often ride there, and weigh my bikes. They are cool peeps. This was at her lightest, before the 25mm rear tire, and 2012 Red FD.

Why a 25 rear?

Soloist Assassin 10-02-12 04:44 PM

Better ride, less rolling resistance, minimal weight, and aero penalty. If I would of scraped all the old glue off first. The weight difference would have been less.
