I finished the build with SRAM Red TT group just in time for 2012 Muncie Endurathon 70.3 Ironman (bummer the race was shortened due to extreme heat). I only averaged 22.89mph due to lack of training... A move from Michigan (Detroit suburbs) to Bloomington, Indiana in June killed my training this year - setting up a new house eats up the time. FYI - Bloomington has fantastic riding on road (super hilly, curvy, nice pavement) or dirt (Brown County State Park Rocks!)
The build came in at 18.6 lbs with pedals, water cage and computer... very competitive for a size XL Triathlon Bike. The ride is fast & very smooth with the Titanium boom and tubeless tires. 2012 SRAM red works very well, especially the new brake design. I went with semi-aero Rolf Vigor SL wheels to save weight for all the hill climbing around Bloomington. Looking forward to 2013 riding!!!!
Much thanks to Titanflex Tom Piszkin for the excellent component pricing and advice!
Enjoy the build data & pics!
