I used a non-setback and the seat was shoved all the way back. With this post, I am just forward of center.

Looks like his saddle is all the way forward.

Or it might just be the picture angle

Edit: nevermind.

TehK 12-29-07 06:19 PM

Don't think the rim words could get any bigger.

the spokes are what spinergy calls PBO

from the site...

Spinergy engineers have invented a revolutionary technology for stronger, lighter and faster wheels. Introducing PBO Fiber Spoke Technology. Every PBO spoke contains over 30,000 strands of polyphenylene bensobisoxazole fiber, delivering 3-times the strength of stainless steel at just half the weight.

The PBO fiber strands are encased in a chemical resistant, water / UV proof composite offered in a variety of colors. The outcome is a flexible spoke with incredible strength that will absorb impact more efficiently while staying in true. Our patented PBO spokes are lighter than traditional steel spokes which results in less rotational weight and a faster responding wheel – giving you the ultimate edge. All this delivers a wheel that is lighter, stronger, faster and superior in every way.
i have a pair with pbo spokes on my road bike, and i agree that they will absorb more impact without going out of true. and they are quite light. my only complaint is that they take a special spoke wrench to true.

Gurgus 12-29-07 07:10 PM

Very nice Surly! What kinda bars are those?

TehK 12-29-07 07:14 PM

I believe those are Soma Major Taylor bars. If I'm not mistaken.

Fugazi Dave 12-29-07 07:18 PM

Total class.

the beef 12-29-07 07:21 PM

Nice drops. For some reason when I see that bike I picture a European newspaper boy zipping through the streets of a small town.

You and your rim logos. You should really talk to someone about those issues.

TimArchy 12-29-07 08:48 PM

I think we've discovered a secret that carbon rim manufacturers don't want us to know. Deep dish rims aren't for aerodynamics, they're for making logos bigger.

BTW, that Griffen is hilarius. Crazy frame, wheels, components. But they need 2" of carbon headset spacers and a bottomed out saddle b/c they aren't flexible enough to ride with the bars below seat level. I miss working in a shop...

Noooiiice.

Those are the bars I'd like to switch my vanilla road bars for. Are the tops comfortable despite that curve?


And the tape...what is it?

Zombie Carl 12-29-07 09:49 PM

Those bars may be comfy, but they are ugly as hell.
