Leader frame
Leader fork
Selle SMP Composit saddle (that needs to be raised a bit)



and... shimano sora FD, RD, crank, and brakes...no name seat post, and 'sunrimz' wheels

the sora isn't terrible with friction shifting, really. And I guess when I convert it to road and SRAM rival, It'll be like WHOA

again, all I have to say for myself is... !


But I do have a crankset waiting in the wings...a sram force bb30.

And doesn't that mean I'll need a new frame?

heh heh heh heh

If it works for him, it works for him. My tri bike has a DA compact double, and an 11-28 cassette, and I think that is the greatest thing in the world. For me. For you, it might be crap.

Love the color of your bike! Pretty pretty.


And yeah I have a triple, but I set the limiting screws on the FD to make it so I can't even get to the small chainring so I can just bash the shifters back and forth and not worry about spinning at like 200000 rpm

Latest changes to my Cervelo P3 include replacing my Integrated Vision Tech aerobars with UCI compliant aerobars, as I am currently focussing on just racing bikes at the moment. Also replaced the Dura ace 7800 cranks with a wired FSA SRM.

j4son.... That looks familiar.

I'm slowly gathering parts, I'm building it up over the winter for the next racing season. It will be nice to have the option to ride this over the road bike at tris.

Still deciding on a wheelset though.

Yes it did, he gave me a deal on the upgraded seatpost. He did however forget to send the headset (still on its way as the seller shipped it separately)

1996 Klein Aeolus (special order paint job)
Shimano 600 Ultegra 8 speed
Durace crank
Zipp 400 650c wheelset
17lbs

I don't ride Triathlon's, I ride this as my road bike and it is wicked fast, handles like a dream and is pretty light for being an aluminum frame

Decided to add a front wheel. Decals don't match up though.

Also switched out my Specialized 50mm wide tri saddle with a comfy wider Forte Classic road bike saddle.

Since I'm new and primarily a triathlete, this is the appropriate spot for my first post!

Nice bikes everyone!

@dgunthert - how are you finding the Quarq? Which head unit are you using?

The Quarq is great. No issues, it just works. I've got it paired with a 705.

Who did the custom paint? was it factory direct? or someone local? I'm looking at getting on and wanted an all white with very little blue.

PM me details maybe?

thanks
