felt AR
 

first of all- image shack sux. already know that. second- camera sux. i know that too. third- no white garage door, the valves are not hidden, crank arm not in line, etc etc etc


but here are some pix of my AR as its being currently built up. was in the shop, with only my iphone, so excuse the quality of the pics.

group is a mix of chorus and record 11. bars are aero wing oval concepts. brakes are light grey colored negaive g. wheels- american classics (training wheels) (zed techs for racing). seat pictured is only for build.


damm, its amazing how a bike shop can swing your day.


enjoy...

Hot.

But why the rather un-aero Zero Gravity brakes? That's not a weight weenie frame.

it was more their size. they are physically a little smaller than the campy brakes and tend to match the head-on silhouette of the frame better. plus the aesthetics (the color works with the gray in the frame)

and tho the frame isnt the lightest thing out there... the brakes might shave a hair or two off the scale to slightly compensate.

Cool. Well I totally covet it, though I won't ever have one.

You should get the EE Cycleworks brakes if you want some aero brakes that are light.

I dig the frame, but my oh my those wheels are fugly.

+1 Agreed, sweet ride. But, those wheels are hideous. Maybe the rig will be fast enought that no one will be able to keep up in order to see them.

first thing i saw was the wheels, and i like em

The wheels are RAD... just priced 'em though, ouch.

junk:)

My next bike needs to be a Felt, for sure. Sexiest things out there right now...

You lose one point for the bald man in the back, though!

Nice handlebars. I can ride my bike without them though.

Nice build, although I would not have used ZG brakes (I like to stop :lol:). Why Yellow SwissStop brake pads on aluminum wheels with machined braking surfaces? You're going to go though those $50 pads pretty fast......

Also.... With all due respect, Felt + Campy feels weird (to me at least).... Used to see Shimano/SRAM on Felts. Kinda like putting Campy on a Trek or Shimano on a Pinarello..... But who cares right? Ride what you like.

the pads came on the calipers (bought them used, let some other fool pay retail). they will be changed to black.

good eye

nice.
are those AC rims aluminum?
what's the depth?

rim depth- 34mm.

aluminum rims. (they will be daily use trainers)

those are some expensive daily-use trainers.

might want to trim that cable housing.

Wheels are definitely ugly (as all american classics are) take those decals off and you'll be set.
