Now that all of the multiple versions of the IA are available, I'm interested to see what everyone is doing with them. I'll start...

I'm very pleased with the way this turned out and I'm incredibly fortunate to have this bike. I'd like to give a shout out to Bicycle Outfitters Indy for setting me up with the frame and many of the components. I owe a great deal of gratitude to our team fitter/mechanic Ken Nowakowski of Pro Bikes LTD for the build and fit. He is a perfectionist with a keen eye for detail and takes no shortcuts. I highly recommend him to anyone in or around Indiana.

Felt IA 1 Frame set 54
Zipp 808 FC Carbon Clinchers
Shimano Ultrgra Di2 11 speed
Quarq Elsa R
Rotor NoQ Aero Chainrings
Fizik Tritone Peoples Edition saddle
KMC X11DLC Black/Red Chain
Angular contact BB30 bearings

Looking good! I'll take the bait and go next ... Here is mine:

Felt IA4 51 cm Frame

Reynolds Strike Carbon Clinchers
Shimano Ultrgra 6800 11 Speed (Medium Cage RD)
Shimano Ultrgra 6800 11-32t Cassette
Powertap G3 Hub
Rotor Red Aero Q Rings 53/39
ISM Adamo Attack Saddle
KMC X11SL Black Chain
Rotor 3D+ 165mm Crankset

I'm currently getting a new Custom CalPac made to take an internal Shiv fuelselage for hydration and a flat kit/nutrition. More on that to come later.

Very nice bike. What did you ride before? How does the IA compare both ride and fit (size)?

I'm still working on that actually. I have 2 options: 1. Local carbon fiber guy 2. Local 3D Printing company

Once I've finalized the plans and hit my budget I'll go forward with the one off part production. It probably won't be cheap but I want integrated hydration and a flat kit in that CalPac come hell or high water!!

I rode a QR CD 0.1 before. I actually have my fit more aggressive than the QR but have yet to ride it outside. I'll let you know after tomorrow.

I need to get a current pic. It's much lower now with the bars mounted under the base bar now.

Would be any cheaper if you could have multiple units made? I'd be willing to buy one. Maybe we could get some kind of group buy discount.

thanks. I have my spare tube and co2 in there and I think it matches up well with the frame. I usually have a seat-mounted XLab bag but I'll be zip typing a cage there for long course.

Yes, agree with you. The wheels came off my mostly white bike but those logos look very loud on this stealth build. Will remove them soon!

Great idea on the bag! I have been trying to figure out a solution given how small the cal pack is!
