If only you had no shame like me.....

Of course it is. But ya can only adjust so far. Im not willing to raise the bars anymore because its not worth the risk and could be unsafe. I need another inch to inch and a half higher at the bars. I suppose I could keep trying, but hey new bikes are fun.:D

Took it for a ride around the street for a little while to see how thing are.
I didn't weigh it, But it feels lighter than the Tracer, which would put it at 27 lbs or less!
Not bad for a 5.75" travel Mtb....
The Wheels are really light, and seem to be very stiff. But we know a good trip on some
downhill will let me know!
The LBS put on a XTR Shadow RD, which gives me some Carbon Bling. ( didn't expect that!)
Boy I hope it doesn't rain this weekend, I really want to try it out!
Pleasantly surprised, and excited like a little boy....

Nice Drew. Ive always liked the white 575. You will love the ride.

BigSean 12-05-07 09:36 PM

Not a great pic, but the spacers are already maxed out and the stem is a 120mm wiith 8deg rise.

I just bought the frame set, bars and controls, the rest will be built up with Dura Ace. I think I'm going to wait a month or so before blowing a wad on wheels. I might have to go out to the Toms Farms TT this Sunday, and give a try. I really like the newer 08 paint scheme better than this, but I have less patience than my 6 year old.

Bump, because people obviously aren't paying attention.

Nice Tarmac Sean!!

And they tell me white is faster in the dirt.....:)

I noticed, but didn't think there was much else to say except the requisite "I hate you," or "Ba$terd!", etc. :p

Love the bike!

Edit - man, BF sure is pretty aggressive on censoring - I understand the call to censor the profanity, but a word that is synonymous with illegitimate child and can be found in Webster's and can commonly be used in public and when speaking with city leaders?

That's okay Volt, it was for your eyes only :)
Currently watching some eBay auctions for some 808's, to put on it.

Anyone interested in a 58cm 2005 Specialized Roubaix Pro Frame Set, or a 58cm Cyfac complete bike (Dura Ace/Ultegra mix) PM me, I need to make room in the garage for my wife's car.

i think this should be the bike you use on any climbing ride we do.

So I can get bloody knees when I stand, and eat it on the descents :p? I really need to get down there, I'm long overdue for our ride. Maybe I can sneak down there one of the days after Xmas.

Forte 10-sp chain from performance. This comes with KMC re-usable master link, so I should be able to keep them cleaner looking than my prev Ultegra one. :)

Spinerval "no slackers allowed" dvd. I'm still dying after ~15mins of my first spinerval dvd (uphill grind), so hopefully this one will be easier. :o

jsigone 12-06-07 06:17 PM
