Lol...it's a 1x10...~10lbs. Built something just for climbing.

Very nice, who did you get the crank from?

Thanks, AX direct thru a local rep...I was one of the first in the US to order the crank...took about 7 months to show up.

I'd ask how much, but not only would that be gouche, it may cause me to consider one if the price was right.

Thanx for sharing and enjoy floating up the hills.

I honestly can't remember...it was Euros and it was almost a year ago that I placed the order. It's listing at ~1k Eur now tho...380gr incl bearings/cup...only $3.50 USD/gram! ;)

just picked this up yesterday. Took it out for a 20 miler during a break in the storm we're in. Loved it!

Remind me not to go on any rides with you, unless it's your recovery ride!

I just picked up the 105 double crankset, 105 FD, Selle Italia XO saddle, a couple Camelback podium chill bottles, and a white Lezyne under seat bag. Here are the latest pics of the build. I finally got a chance to ride it a little today. I love it so far. I could use a zero setback seatpost though.

I know I keep posting pictures of this, but I can't help it. My name's Jason, and I'm a post-aholic.

New-to-me Force crankset is on the way here. I'm excited to lose the 200 grams or so vs the stock FSA Gossamer and (more importantly) shorten up the crank arms (175 is a little long for me).

Also ordered a stem from RealCyclist (on sale, $44) to match the handlebars ordered from PBK.

While on mile 80 of a solo century two weekends ago, I was riding into a headwind and decided to rest my forearms on my top tube and noticed I was easily able to sustain 25mph into the headwind. I'd remembered seeing Rasmussen doing that while working for Denis Menchov back in '06 and since I was riding in a relatively safe place to try it...
Mayhaps with these little suckers, I might be able to finish my five-hour centuries in 4:30 instead...

I Know the feeling, half of the time when I'm riding back home I have headwind, and one day I decided to do just like you and rest my forearm on the top tube and man I was fast even in the wind.

Since then I've been considering getting some TT-bar for my bike...

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think that they had any 17 degree stems.

Why do you need that Scooper, do you have a problem with crashing into trolleys?

LuMax 02-18-11 10:39 AM

Nice fork!

Not trolleys, trolley tracks. :eek:

Oh I have no self-control. I went into my LBS for a pair of insoles for my sparkly-white new Sidis and a few inner tubes, and ended up making a down-payment on a leftover Stumpjumper Elite. It was $1100 less than MSRP of the '11 model, and it has XTR derailleurs instead of asSram. I walked out, then back into the shop three times, but when Abe said he'd hold it with a layaway deposit, I knew I'd only regret letting it slip away.

The mountainbike was supposed to be my reward for a sub-5:30 Etape du California, but paying an extra thousand-plus bucks for a bike with Sram wouldn't've been much of a reward.

Cheap training/commuting tires on Bonktown.

SRAM Rival brakes, I didn't like the OEM Lee Chi brakes Bella wore.
