Lectron - That is Hot. Are you going to have the fork painted to match?

I'm to use an Easron Aero fork. It would be nice to have it painted to match, but I do not know of any locally who could have the skills so I'll just run it plain black :)

105/ultegra, and pieces from my 05 Trek 1000 lol.

I like red bikes! I think some white bartape (and a better lit photo) would really get that bad boy poppin!

i am sure i will get criticized because it has 32 spokes, one fixed gear, AND its a scatantte, but here is my budget build:

edit: i should mention that i have been fascinated with fixed gear bikes long before the trend ever became popular and i figured a cheap aluminum frame, carbon fork, house brand bars/stem, and a slew of left over record/chorus 10spd parts would make a fun, agile, and light, bike for around town and training without breaking the bank. and boy was i right, it's a blast.

ive debated painting the frame/fork. if anyone has any ideas lets hear them (i am thinking a solid color)

Great looking as is, but matching bright paint on the frame and fork will make it different from the black/white/silver/gray trend. Ferrari red perhaps, or fly yellow...neon blue or green...orange?

Here's my 2009 Kestrel RT 800 with full Dura Ace. Still waiting on DA pedals and SIDI shoes.

Here is my touring bike- Post drop handlebar conversion. I have some different touring wheels on order, and I switch tires quite often. This is obviously without any of the racks, cages, lights and computers.

BTW, that is hot. that frame is sick looking. I haven't seen flames that well done on a car in a LONG time. Maybe a harley every now and then.

great build, how do you like the kcnc brakeset?

bdcheung 03-01-10 01:00 PM

Have had them for about 3 years now and love them. It's not as powerful as Dura-Ace or other heavier brakes, but it's never left me desiring more brake power either.

zatopek 03-01-10 02:18 PM

BD, your Pedalforce is very sweet. Definitely HAWT! Also, I like the KCNC brakes I run on a couple of my bikes as well. IMHO, KCNC makes some very nice products. Their Ti skewers rock!
