I usually prefer a naked titanium frame, but that bike is smoking hot.

However, I wasn't asking how much it sold for retail, as you say, most people don't pay full retail. I'm just wondering how much $ you had in it. It's a nice frame, don't get me wrong. A great bike I'm sure. It's just fascinating to me to see how much people have in their bikes vs what they are getting.

Here, I'll post one of mine. Yes, it's been posted before but as to this question.

This is a 2008 Felt F2 w full Dura Ace group set, Mavic Kysyrium SL wheels and Michelin ProRace3 tires. Weighs in at 15.2 lbs with Speedplay pedals installed. I bought it used on CL and after all of my upgrades have about $1,500 in it.

Doesn't hold a candle to yours, but a few dollars less as well...

Nice bike. Looks like you've optioned it very well. You'd probably be 3 or 4 seconds faster over a 40k on the Trek though... :lol:

I'm not much of Trek person either, but I do love their project one website. It's fun to design your own bike. My favorite one that I built was metallic brown with dark blue and orange accents.

There really needs to be a website with with all the different products and you can go through and select what you want on the bike to see what it looks like. I guess thats what photoshop is for.

Also, campy pro fit pedals: cool! I used to sell those (rarely) to folks building *full campy* bikes. Back in a good old days of alloy shifting paddles on the ergolevers.

It is a medium rear derailleur cage. Don't think I can fit a small cage with 13-29 gears.

I agree. HOT.

He said they were edge (enve) rims laced to dt 240s. If you use aerolite spokes, upgrade to ceramic bearings, and add a set of nice skewers you could get in the $2800-2900 range before shipping.

I know, I'm like the 15th person who has reposted this picture. This is a great looking Trek. I have to wonder why someone would pay over a grand more for the six series frameset.

Since no one likes Trek, here's another.

15.09# with garmin, k-edge garmin and go pro mounts, heavy pedals, and bottle cages. If I went with some tubular wheels and, carbon bar, and lighter speedplays, I could get it down close to 14#.

jackss731 08-13-13 09:11 PM

the boss at the LBS has a 7.9 madone Vapor Coat, Di2 dura ace, aeolus 3's, Speedplay Zero Ti's,
AND a matching Speed Concept, but then again he's the boss ha.

Unfortunately I'm still running tiagra 9spd but I can say I built my own wheels.

GT SRS 3
Planet X brakes
38mm Carbon Tubulars/Conti Sprinters/Dura Ace 9 Cassette
WCS Logic II Bars
Ritchey Pro Seatpost, Streem Ti Saddle.
KMC x10sl

Right now she's 18lbs kinda lazy to cut my steer tube

Nice looking bike. Is it me or is your right foot angling out?

bmcphx 08-13-13 11:53 PM

Probably.

Seriously over-pronated ankles and open float.

Ok, what i've got into it.
Framset and SRAM Red parts, about @2000.00. I had the wheels, tires, saddle, bar, pedals and i'm borrowing the SRM. So really it hasn't cost me very much at all. I sold my previous year 6.9SSL for $4000.00 and put this together. Not sure where all that extra cash went, though:D

i remember test riding that gt a couple years back when i was buying my first road bike. really impressive welding and i found it rode and fit much better than the roubaix. nice bike, but first one i have seen in the wild (so to speak). nicely set up and photographed but not quite hot though.

As a fellow Ridley owner, I'm biased. :D

But another clean looking build. HOT.

You just called a road bike with aerobar "hot" ;)

Not the first time either. There is another great looking road build equipped with a clip-on aero bar, a Roubaix SL2?/3? posted on here as well.

Seeking opinion... I'm considering to change out the crank of the look.... Thinking of either Sram red or rotor... Comparing price wise... I'm leaning towards the Sram... Would the normal Sram red fit the look beta or the black edition be beta? Or simply rotor will win hands down simply for its look?

Aesthetically, my personal choice would be Rotor but what you currently have looks great already. If anything, I'd get a set of Praxis Works chainrings; if you ever decide to upgrade to 11 speed, Di2 or EPS, those rings and crankset would work flawlessly with any of those upgrades.

I already told you Rotor Crank with Praxis chainrings! Life would be SO much easier for people if they would simply listen to ME!! :p

I agree with primov, that set up would be a great choice for both performance and aesthetics.
