Here's a teaser for now, had to drop it off at the lbs after setting it up this far because bottom bracket and crankset installation is beyond my scope.

Dropped off the frame and remaining parts to the mechanic tonight. Fitting is scheduled for Friday. Maiden voyage Saturday. I'll post a pic, of course, as soon as it's done.
On a side note: I giggled at the weight of the Force bb30 crank when I held it. I know there are lighter but pushing the 16 pound barrier is new ground for me and my wallet.

^thanks!
More time now so a bit more explanation. The bike as pictured comes in at 17.4 #'s with the following.
-7900 brakes, brifters, and front and rear derailleurs
-Hollowgram SI cranks
-6700 pedals
-3t aluminum Ergonova bars, Doric Pro Seatpost (400mm uncut), and ARX Pro stem
-Yokozuna brake and shifter cables
-Reynolds Strike wheels with Pro+ powertap and D/A 21-11 cassette
-Fizik Arione saddle with magnesium rails
With my DV46/SL+ wheelset I'd be well under 17....DT Swiss RR1.1 would be under 16 #'s. Not bad for an all aluminum bike (except the fork) with no real effort to WW it. My focus for building it was 100% performance with some attention to asthetics but no compromises. Not focus on weight but all the focus on rigidity.
The cranks are enamal painted with 3m protective film. Haven't deciced if I like them white or not. Plan on getting them PC'd but waiting until I have my other frame ready to get them done together. Likely flat black if the white doesn't grow on me.

Haven't visited this thread in awhile.. I just won a brand new set of Fulcrum 5's on fleabay. Pics as soon as they come in!
Time for some new bar tape too.. even cleaned with bleach the original white cloth tape is way too worn at this point. I guess that means I did good on mileage last year. hah.

Are you running clinchers or tubulars?

But that's 16.44 Bulletproof Pounds.
I'm working to get it down to under that,
but never at the expense of reliability.
I'd go with black arms and tape on your rig.
But I'm partial...I love black.

I found it on craigslist. I got lucky because I was looking for a 54cm and the guy I bought it from loved the frame, but wanted a 52cm. So he was selling his frameset and somehow found a 52cm in all black to replace his. The frameset is in pristine condition even though it is used. I'm guessing <500 miles.

Agreed about the black, figured I'd give the white a shot since they get stripped anyways when they go for PC and it's different. Jury is still out. I'm actually looking for a Caad 9 that I was going to strip and murder out for fun and as a crit/backup bike.
I didn't do additional pics due to time, but I think it looks better in person. The stem, saddle, seatpost, and frame all match with the flat black and white strip. Maybe more pics later.
As for weight, honestly I don't care much, I was just curious. I'm a 180# sprinter with decent power so it's all about getting it to the ground on the jump and railing corners.
As for the question about clinchers or tubies...66s=clinchers....46s and 23s=tubies...I don't trust tubies in crits railing corners and such. 46s and 23s are for road races. Didn't even think about that, the 66s are probably right at 2k grams with the PT....23s are right under 1100 and tubies....that'd easily put it into the mid 15s but not bomb proof. I only use those wheels for climbs.

Thanks. It's a Bontrager XXX Race Lite OS (156g/Viagra Stiff).
I say don't give it a shot..."shoot" it!
That's what this was supposed to be...a tide-me-over bike until I could get carbon, but it didn't turn out that way.

16 is plenty light.
Only clinchers for me. If I get stuck on a path, I could be 20 miles from nowhere. That's a long way to have to walk back.
