Just finished it. Did complete remodel from scratch. Could not get rid of the old frame for some reason. I love all of the new TT bikes and Tri bikes but for some sad reason i just kept adding and subtracting and starting all over etc. What i like about this bike is I started with it at the beginning of my doctoral classes and still have it 18 years later. But it sure looks a lot better than four months ago for sure. Oh and the camera was for my last ride "The Big dam bridge 100" in Little Rock. I videoed the whole thing. What a fun time.

2013 Litespeed C3 105
...setup for the Kinetic Rock 'n Roller
Hi guys wanted to add my newly aero'd cockpit'd Litespeed C3. Decided to add the cockpit to my already trifit Litespeed instead of going for a new tri bike...(i'm replacing the road riding i did on the Litespeed with a steel road bike I'm still looking for...)...she's pretty stock aside from the ZIPP Vuka Aero bars, R2C shifters and Adamo Racing saddle. I have ZIPP 60s for race day, and will be upgrading the derailleurs and crank to Ultegra this season, moving the 105s over to my wife's LeMond Tourmalet...will also pick up some Flo 90s front/rear for flatter races. It needs a new fit though...maybe slam the stem if my back will take it....lol.

Bikes: Fuji Berkeley
So I first discovered this website after inheriting a old bike, and for sentimental reasons deciding to rebuild it to use for training and possible triathlon competition. This bike is a old Fuji Berkeley. Anyway I built it up to how it appears below. The photo doesn't show the clipless pedals that I bought because I only use it to commute now. And I will be replacing the bulhorns with a safer Cromoly (Steel) bars because I just read in BICYCLING magazine about how a guy bought HYLIX Bars off eBay and they snapped, causing him severe injury and no legal remedy.
Anyway here is the bike below.
Its inexpensive compared to some of the astronomical prices I have seen bike advertised. But I like riding it. Besides I don't think I will actually be winning any triathlons. I'm just happy to be healthy and living a fitness lifestyle. For me, when a bicycle costs as much as a Harley......its cost too much.

Hey everyone, totally new to cycling and triathlons....set a goal for myself when I turned 30 last year to do a full Iron Man before I turn 40. Got a smoking deal on this 2013 Fuji SST 3.0 LE with upgrades so this is what I'll be training with!

I just picked this up a couple weeks ago and am getting a fitting this weekend:
I'll be using it for time trials initially while I start training for a duathalon, and hopefully a tri eventually.
