Razor's bike Revival Zombie Version 1.37

Getting closer to TRE< one ride after another. On that picture it was looking a lot like TREj<

I wish the bottom of my bars were more horizontal. would look a lot better IMHO.

(Yes the bench is at the end of a dock in the middle of the St-Lawrence river near St-Luce beach in Québec.)

This one however, best of the thread thus far. Love small diameter carbon tubes :love:

A small diameter carbon tube bike doesn't look dated? The Rossetti has a few spacers under the stem, but it all appears to be well proportioned, meanwhile the look has what appears to be a tiny 80 or 90mm stem. If I had to pick one of those two bikes to be poorly proportioned, it would be the Look with the tiny stem. If I had to pick one of those bikes to look dated, again it would be the Look. Either way, I think both are hot.

The spacers are staying...at least till I get a little more flexible.

I'm generally not a fan of black bikes, but that bike is hot! The small touches of red are nice. Clean your driveway :-)

What do you think about this?
I think I spent about $1100 on everything. Shimano 105 5700, Mavic Ksyrium SL. Still need a bike fitting and a different cassette. Gonna look for some bb30 compatible cranks or some SRAM Force cranks.

Here's my bike

~$2500 (includes garmin 500 I just bought). Looking to cut the stem next weekend, might lower the stem a bit more.

Well The frame is basically this under the brand Champ Sys. This frame is from team Mengoni and bought it off the rider Dan Chabanov. Other than that I dont know anymore about the frame besides it was ridden for a season

$650 frame from ebay

$200 for SRAM force groupset including Ritchey wheels from craigslist (bougth motobecane le champion SL for $500, stripped parts, replaced with shimano 2300 and sold for $300)

I want wheels, but that will come later.

Yea, Im an ebay *****.

Benson 01-23-12 01:02 AM

Man I wish I could have gotten SRAM Force for that cheap, I really wanted Force till I found 105 set for cheap.
