Consider it watched.

I'd pass on a V1 even if it were my size.

Do those cronos have a backwards sweep to them?

No but the aero tops make them look as though they do.

**** that 725, that 722! But you have to be pretty damn small :P

Cosmetic update to the vitesse noir
 

Well, USPS finally delivered the 10mm carbon spacer so I could dress up the front end of the vitesse noir. The bar and stem are black carbon, so the cheap plastic stem spacers and aluminum top cap looked out of place. I already had a 20mm carbon spacer to place underneath the stem and a carbon top cap, but lacked a spacer between the stem and top cap. I bought a flat hex socket head M6 bolt and painted it black to match and also painted the top of the spacer, since the top cap doesn't completely cover it. This raised the stem 5mm, but after flipping the stem down, the bars are now a net 12.5mm (1/2") lower. I also tilted the saddle down slightly as it was bothering me when riding the drops.

that is hot
im still stoopid for carpet fibre

Bike finally done! :D

^^^ 721tr + Andel cranks = winner!

Very pretty. I even like the omniums and I usually dont like that crank!

It's so pretty....

That looks soo comfortable. I'd ride that in a heart beat. You weight it yet?

oh...so sad :(

P.S. get a brake you dirty hipster.

I haven't weighed it yet but it turned out lighter than I had expected. It feels solid as all hell and aside from dialing in a few things here and there, it's really comfortable. I may switch out the 90mm stem for a 70mm Thomson I've got sitting around because I may be a little too stretched out when out on the horns. Still experimenting!

No.

That bike is amazing.

@Scrod - Can't see it, just red x in box, re-link ?

The pics show up on my computer and my phone. Weird.

I see them now. Must be some weird IB problem.

You've got another winner.

Thanks TT!

Thanks TT , ur bike was a big inspiration!! haha / Scrod awesome bike !!! :thumb:

I just found the perfect vinyl decal/sticker for the cut out seattube of 725's and 727's. Pics on request.

K, pics requested.

Rode my Leader 55 miles today, longest ride on it so far. The Tioga saddle got a bit painful after 40 miles. This is what I wore:

Pads. Trust me I loathe that saddle on long rides even although it looks so cool.

Maybe tomorrow or during the weekend.



~~~~~~~On a side note, I just realized leader's frame sizing, TT height come short of other brands of the same size significantly when compared.
