Just beautiful, Stan!
Then again, as a Waterford rider, I'm also biased. Love a nice steel frame decked out in Campy. Your Paramount is striking.

Nothing better than being in a breakaway don't you think?

HELLO EVERYONE....
i'm new here,i just need basic help.
i want to upgrade currently i have a fuji finest road bike 2001 very nice and light(21-23 pounds),i want a better bike , lighter strong and something that can gives me a better ride and speed without work,can you recommend me something?
also i want to know what is the lightest frame,the cromoly aluminum,carbon,....etc....can you explain that to me in a few words/you don't know how much appreciate that!!!.....

the beef

(sighh)

You already said the Finest was nice and light, which it is. So what exactly do you want? You say you want something even lighter, and speed you up without any work? Sorta weird.

A lighter bike won't suddenly make you go faster, save on hills and quick acceleration. Even then, the difference is minimal. And if you're the type of guy who wants to go faster without any work, I doubt you'd even notice the change.

jucamo007

ok.thanks basically I'd like something lighter and I'm still wondering about what's best if cromoly aluminum,or light aluminum,carbon,,,,etc......
thanks for give me a brief explanation about that.

Martinello

Got the last parts for my latest build - a Canyon F10, dura ace, old Ksyriums and some bikeporn for controls (K-Sword)

PrfectHair4ever

with LOOK pedals and two bontrager carbon cages

robncircus

Mine. Full 105 (black), Reynolds wheels, etc...etc...



The stem has since come down and i even use pedals now. This is from when i bought it.

I love the yellow+black scheme!

I used to own a similar bike(same frame) in the early 90's, but it fit me better back then. I've been trying to decide if should replace the headset(it's indexed), get a shorter stem and maybe a carbon fork, or buy a new Flyte frameset to build up.

Mersenne

Took me forever save up/build this bike, but now it's my dream bike:

Bianchi 61cm 9-2-8 Carbon Frame
Topolino Wheels (These are AWESOME, by the way)
Campy Record component group (except Chorus front/rear derailur)
Record CT Compact Crankset
Phil Woods BB
Deda Einstein Stem
Specialized S-Works Carbon bars
Fizik seat
Conti tires
(Look KEO pedals, but they're on my other bike right now)

What do you guys think?

Just got fitted last night by my local pro bike shop. Just getting back into cycling after a 20+ year haitus.



It's the Specialized Tarmac Expert, but I don't know yet which color I'm getting, depends on the dealer's stock. All Ultegra components more or less, changed to a compact crank and IRD 11-28 cassette, and upgraded the wheels to Mavic Ksyrium SL's.

Tom Stormcrowe

Sweet bike, I want a Tarmac myself, but I think I may still be a bit heavy for a CF ride.

I had a Tarmac Expert last year with SL's. It was a awesome combo. Mine was just a little to big for me

I have a number of Specialized bikes (Allez Comp, Langster, Sirrus Sport and a Roubaix Pro) and love all of them. Last week I had a problem with the Roubaix. Specialized said it was covered under warrantee and they'd replace the frame. I asked if I could pay to upgrade to the S-Works version and they said no problem and no extra charge.

The whole process took less than a week.

Big ups to Specialized (and any other manufacturer) who stand by their product. Specialized you have a fan for life.

Here's the rebuild.

garysol1 

Wow, that is beyond customer service. I do have to wonder why they would upgrade you to a $2,800 frameset for no charge though. Makes me wonder if MAYBE next years pro will use the S-Works frame or if they are possibly changing the whole bike and they want to get rid of the current stock. Just seems a little strange to me but again..a big congrats!!

Velomancer

I didn't ask.... just said THANKS!

I presumed that they are probably hard to move (in Australia) and the new line are probably in the works. I also wondered if the huge difference in cost between the Pro and S-Works was just for the S-Works logo.... but, hey, who cares. Specialized did me right and I'll tell the world what a fantasic bike company they are... are you listening Specialized... My next bike is a S-Works Stumpjumper HT.

garysol1 

The S-Works is supposed to be a completely Carbon weave using there 9r carbon as instead of the 7r. I am about to order a S-Works Roubaix and now I am thinking if maybe I should wait till the 07's come out.
