Changed my mind. $1500 new. With wheels and pedals, about $1900.

What kind of riding do you do and what bike did you own previously? The position at which the downtube connects to the top/headtube is interesting, they put a lot of material around it. I am no engineer but I'd think it makes the bike stiffer. |
Thanks everyone! I am quite happy with the build right now. Eventually I do plan on buying a frameset and swapping everything over. Someday...

Thats a great looking bike! One of the best looking Fuji's I seen.
Having a "proper" saddle to bar drop does wonders for presentation. Slamming the stem helps too. :) |
Ove both 613's, the all black and the fuji. All hot. Especially love the fuji, though.

As pictured: Frameset: $500 (new). Original groupset - DA7800 RD, Ultegra 6600 FD, brifters, 12-27 cassette: $100 (used). FSA Gossamer compact crankset: $100 (NOS). Wheels - Ultegra hubs, Open Pro CD rims: $241 (new). Bars - Deda RHM01: $40. All these parts were originally on my CAAD9 - I bought the Allez frameset after I got a high-end fit and found that the head tube on the CAAD9 was way too short for me. Had to get a new FD (Force) when I switched, since the Allez requires a braze-on. I've switched out some stuff lately in preparation for Rouge-Roubaix - fenders are off, replaced the RD and cassette with a Tiagra 4600 short cage and corresponding 12-30 cassette (they're in the picture), and installed 700x28 Conti Grand Prix tires. Even if you count these, it only adds ~$150. |

I'm resubmitting my bike to the thread because it's seen a couple changes and after today's ride I consider it "done". Frame: 2001 Klein Quantum, Silver Cloud, 58cm Fork: Klein Air Rail OD Wheelset: 2006 Mavic Ksyrium Elite Tires: Continental Grand Prix 24, 24mm wide (23mm mounted) Shifters: Shimano ST-5700 RD: Shimano RD-5700 FD: Shimano FD-5700, braze-on Crankset: Shimano FC-5750, 175mm, 50/34 Chain: Shimano CN-5701 Calipers: Shimano BR-5700 Pedals: Shimano PD-5700 Handlebar: Ritchey Pro EvoCurve, 40cm Stem: Ritchey Pro 4-Axis, 100mm Seatpost: Ritchey Pro Carbon, two bolt, custom cut length Saddle: Selle Italia Turbomatic Tape: Fizik Microtex, silver Cages: Elite Pase Silver Composite Macia Housings/Cables: Jagwire Computer: Garmin Edge 305 The bike was purchased on local CL with the original 5500 triple group, wheelset, and other parts on it. Everything except the frameset was changed, the original group, saddle, and wheelset have been sold to offset the cost of the bike. Total into the bike, give or take a few bucks, $1319. I'm not counting the Garmin as it moves from bike to bike. If you want to, $80 eBay buy with cadence sensor and heart rate strap. I have a few more bits to sell too...maybe $25-$50 worth to further offset the cost. http://home.comcast.net/~khatfull/im.../kleincost.jpg I love the ride. The whole bike just works for me...the fit is great (I got lucky with the stem choice), the 105 group is just amazing for the money, wheels spin like butter. I think the group and the frame compliment each other perfectly in a visual sense. I welcome your comments! http://home.comcast.net/~khatfull/im...kleindone1.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~khatfull/im...kleindone2.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~khatfull/im...kleindone3.jpg |

Ok, I gotta know, where do you see me? Bailey Rd., Woodbury Dr., in Cottage Grove or Hinton/Radio? |

Yaniel - BMC on page 2 Lowcel - clean and simple Fuji on page 2 fa63 - super sharp black Six13 on page 4 yzeater - a hot all black Look on page 4 khatful - sleek Klein on page 7 muckymucky - bold Bianchi on page 8 Each of them has a look that flows and exudes a look of performance. |

for god sake, get a zero back seat post. get some matching water bottles. why is your saddle pointed down like that?
and the saddle is level(look at the rails), that is just the shape of the saddle. EDIT: Dang...seat posts are expensive, screw that I'm sticking with the one I have..... |
Here it is complete. With carbon cages, SHimano PD-R540 pedals, Sram Rival Group with FSA Cross Crankset.
