Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The bike should also be disqualified for its proximity to the K-cup pods.

And what I am going to assume is a battery for electronic shifting is really misplaced. I first thought it was a mini pump. Or is it. If so, the poster should be banned for life for thinking this might qualify as hot.

^ I hate the way that bike seems to be thrown together from unrelated parts.

Suspension instead of lifetime ban because it's a carbon mini pump.

Agreed. I've had a new low key sensor for over a year, but I'm jut to lazy to get to it. I AM that lazy!

My latest money pit. Just finished the build this weekend, and it rides amazing. Very light and stiff. Di2 is superb.

I sold the diamondback i posted awhile back to fund a VERY small fraction of this. Convinced the girlfriend that it was 'just about an even trade'

Thanks! I have to admit that I originally used that setup - a Record brake lever from the TT range and an artisan carbon downtube shifter made by BTP - on my Merlin Extralight to shave off every gram in a lightweight setup. That bike was since rebuilt with normal brifters and the downtube lever landed in the spare parts bin. Through the years I did however use similar setups on other bikes and when I had this Vetta frame built I remembered the BTP lever and decided to bring back that setup. Not a weightweenie built at all with a steel frame, fork and custom steel stem but I like the clean look and since I do long distance rides but no racing I don't miss the brifter for the front derailleur.

Good catch; I had a sidewall blowout on the rear Conti GP4KS2 (my third one, not buying them again) and I had a Schwalbe One lying around so I put that on.
