My personal little bit of bike porn	Can't Post

Finally finished my build - every piece chosen on it's merits.

very very nice.

i would hate to ask how much this thing cost you total. over $10k (US) ?

only 2 comments about the build:

your seat is visibly misadjusted.
and that 1080 is going to be a handful and will cost you some time unless you only race in total calm.

The winner of Masters Nats with a 48:XX over 39k was on twin 1080's on a really windy day. The wind was at an angle most of the way in too. I am not saying 1080's woldnt be a handful in cross winds, but the winner that day laid it down.

Nice work.

We need a clearer picture of the cockpit.

What saddle is that?

Sweet build... mixed feelings about that multi-colored bar tape though... although I don't have a better suggestion...

Did Zipp produce those wheels graphics?

Excellent build!
Love it.
I have the perfect helmet graphics for you. Just finished it for a friend.

That just might be the first aero helmet that actually looks really cool.

I'm curious as to how much it costs to get a full custom paint job like that downunder?

Nice ride..
I am curious about the sensor placement on the front fork. Did it slide down or do you find it more stable in the position closer to the hub?

Stole my post there, bud.

If every component was picked on merit, he'd have Campy Record/Super Record, Oval 911 base/aerobars, and probably less slack in the lines.

Re: My personal little bit of bike porn [Learn] [In reply to]	Can't Post

Really? What "merit" would Campagnolo Record components have over Dura Ace on a TRI bike?

To the OP: very unique build! Certainly easy to find that in transition - especially for a Cervelo!

Great parts but WOW is that fugly. That bar tape looks like it should go on a 1970's road bike!

I like it! I would have skipped the shark jaw though. Just blue/yellow/black would have been nicer, but that's just my opinion.
Nice beach too.

Re: My personal little bit of bike porn [rroof] [In reply to]	Can't Post

These guys need to learn the new pecking order for components. It is Sram, Shimano and then Campagnogo. I do feel sorry for Campy being dropped down to third place but that 11 speed shit is not going to get them more sales.

I am still on Dura-Ace 10 which is fine for now but I would not use CampagNOGO

Great looking bike and great spec'd parts.

That rocks!

Any feedback on the cranks? Do they feel as good as I imagine?

After years of searching, the ugliest bike in the world has been found.
