Labor of Love!
I have been building bikes as long as I have been riding, a mere 3 years consistently. And have built over a dozen bikes. Nothing feels better and more satisfying when your building your own bike and the feeling of gratification is immense. Maybe its addiction :)
My last build, to me is pure bike porn, my customized 2013 Specialized S Works SL4. 13lbs 14oz complete with Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLR's 13lbs 8oz w/ Roval Rapide CLX 40 Frame: 2013 Specialized S Works SL4 Carbon Satin/Red Keyline Components: 2013 SRAM Red Bars: 3T Ergonova Stealth Black 42cm Stem: 3T Stealth 90mm Saddle: S Works Toupe 143mm Cable Housing: NOKON black/Red Wheels: Roval Rapide CLX 40 11-28 2011 SRAM red/ Mavic Cosmic SLR 11-26 2013 SRAM red Chain: KMC X10 DLC Superlight Black/Red Wraps: S Works Tire: S Works Turbo Pedals: Look Keo Blades Ti http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4663.jpg Under Sun light http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4643.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4636.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...IMG_4609-1.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4627.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4630.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4632.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4616.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4614.jpg |

Smokin!!!! I'm glad you created your own thread instead of letting this get lost in the hot or not full of nots.
What size frame? |

No powermeter/Quarq?
|

beautiful, now take that yellow safety sticker off the fork!
|
Great looking bikes. The next bike I get, I'm going to build it up myself.
|
Amazing, except I'm sure you will get thirsty!:)
|
Where did you buy your frame set from? Order it through the dealer?
|
That's pretty hot!!
|
That bike is pure hot. Seriously hot. One of the better looking modern bikes I have seen. Good job on the build.
|
Wow, that bike is smoking hot... great job on the build!
|
I always keep 2 kick-ass bikes right beside my pool.
|
Awesome.
Could you share your technique on how to "fish" the cables? I'm building my 1st bike and I have the same internal cabling. The cabling is what's getting me nervous about my build. |

So sexxxyyy. I want
|
I logged in about 80 miles the past few days, and this bike is super stiff, more agile and a lot more comfortable than my Venge. About a pound lighter and its just as aggressive. I have a feeling my Venge might be collecting a bit of dust on the bike rack in the garage.
|
Did you use Mavic Cosmic or Roval Rapide CLX40? If Roval how do you like?
|
Nice job on the great build! Congrats!
|
Totally want that. Beautiful. Love the wheels. Ride safe and well, man. Nice.
