My new baby(pics)
 
After months of grueling research, deciding whether or not to wait on '09 Rival. Going on trips and delaying the order even further Issues with Pedal force stocking items, and finally settling on Vigor RS's

I finally did it, i bought my new bike. :D :love:

And might I say it is amazing, rides like a dream, climbs like a cougar,

Specs
PF ZX3 frame
Easton EC90 SLX fork
SRAM 2008 Rival Group
Rolf Prima Vigor RS's
Look Keo Carbon's
Ritchey WCS stem
Easton EC70 carbon bars
Selle Italia SLR GF

Weighs in just at 16lbs

I know some of you are gonna flame the whole chainring thing, who cares. It is a good pic

Don't mind me. I'm just mopping up my drool.

Nice! Congrats!

BananaTugger 08-25-08 05:17 PM

Tires look very well seasoned.

C_Heath 08-25-08 05:20 PM

very nice.

Looks great! I don't love the look of the Rolfs, but they are supposed to be nice. I wonder how long it'll be before PF has '09 Rival in.

Nice!

mollusk 08-25-08 05:37 PM

HOT!!!!

Now ride the he-double hockey stick out of it.

astonmartinag 08-25-08 05:46 PM

DAMN a beauty....I really like the cost of the pedal force. And I am starting to think I should go with that instead of a soloist team. Originally, I didn't like the idea of no decals on a bike. But now I am starting to like the pure carbon look. What size is that? If you don't mind me asking what was the total cost of the bike with everything you have?

Pharmr 08-25-08 05:55 PM

looks great!!...good job!!

Hickeydog 08-25-08 06:04 PM

Talk about low spoke count wheels.....

ilmooz 08-25-08 06:04 PM

Really nice bike. Good photos too.

uga8589 08-25-08 06:11 PM

An understated look that seems to scream, "I can kick your butt!"

Beautiful Bike!

awwww, those would have completed the look!

mondaycurse 08-25-08 07:22 PM

Pwitty. I especially like the pop of the orange bar tape.

..after "Nice".:)

Very nice looking bike. I like the Rolfs. I'm not sold on the orange bar tape I would have done a mixed white/black pattern. Enjoy.

agreed.

later.

Nachoman 08-25-08 08:46 PM

I'm not digging the orange bar tape. Black would be so much more stealth. But very nice bike!

redfooj 08-25-08 08:50 PM

yes, chain should have been on big ring, and carbon fsa cranks would complement it well, but overall very very tastefully built

scotch 08-25-08 08:56 PM

what a piece of junk, and possibly unsafe to ride. please send it to me for proper disposal.

carbonjockey 08-25-08 09:02 PM

that 09 sram is pretty sweet though- but well done, that is a nice rig
