Used a 54t all of 2016 and switched to the 58t for 2017. Love the ring. Never had a chain drop and is smoother when I get tired (none of that clunking falling into the deadspot).
First time riding the Aeox as it isn't released for a few more weeks, but for the money nothing touches it.

Hey, thanks! Yeah, I bought it new in 95 while I was in college. I've always really liked the headshok, but I haven't ridden without it in 22 years. So, my memory is pretty fuzzy on what an unsprung front end feels like. That said, it does help while in the aero bars even more than in a road configuration.

I can feel a big difference between the front and rear when going over larger bumps/pavement cracks, etc. I ran over a large bolt on my ride today while aero. the front I barely noticed it, but it ruptured the rear tube big time. I'm guessing a snake bit flat. I haven't pulled the tube yet.

A little bored on a Friday night and I did just build her back up.

And what you do when you flat on a Kiley special ride.

My YouTubes

As someone who loves the AR that is sweet.

My first build. Emonda ALR, full 105 groupo, Zipp components and Specialized power saddle. Throwing some 38MM carbon clinchers and some gumwalls on in a few weeks.

2020: Galveston, Rookie, Buffalo Springs, Kona

Had this about a year. Not a tri bike, but it's what I have. It's shockingly quick at my power level with TT bars for a road bike. Got it new for a killer deal last Black Friday. Giant Propel adv 1 with all 105 stuff. The adv 1 was Ultegra but I guess the shop wanted to build a red color bike with the 105.


I upgraded the PSLR1's from 10spd to 11spd, 50mm with DT Swiss hubs. I can't afford $1500 wheels, so these will do. Stages gen 2 meter. Elemnt Bolt computer.


It's a 50/34 and 11-28. Good for flat and some steep stuff. Was enough to get up Mt Mitchell. I went with 175mm on the cranks when I got the meter. I didn't want to change the RD to go do climbing and my RPM's are always right at an avg of 99-100. I prefer to spin up climbs until double digit slopes and the longer crank makes 11-28 liveable on most anything I've gone uphill on.


As soon as the 1 year of the shop's free maint runs out, I'll cut the steerer down. That stack on top is fugly.

 
just finished building up a new EVO frameset...ready for 2018 :)

Looks sleek, Vola bars?

Yep...Vola LTD...had to take off their hydration bridge...just way too flimsy...went back to an old xlab torpedo and took the bridge off...

Looks great. Kudos for the drive train setup for the picture. I'm sure it's the camera angle, but it looks like there's zero tire clearance in the back! Haha

There isn’t much 😊

Those are 25mm conti’s...once I wear them out I will get some 22 conti’s on there...

And I love the 1X...wish I would have tried it sooner...

My Trek Speed Concept from IM Frankfurt 2017

I figured I would post this here since I got a decent pic finally, the middle color is actually the Trek Radioactive Pink, it just does not photograph well.

Nice P4!

Just built up a tririg 1X job myself.

that's a classic looking ride. and asym painted discs look great as they "loop" by.

Nice...just really love the P4

Don't have a pic of my tri bike in final build stage, but here's the frame/position set-up (at least close):

And the ss Monster-cross that has been getting most of my riding time lately:

Lovely machine. What's the deal with your aero bottle? Are you missing the original?

Yeah I bought the frameset used and it came with a different bottle.

Right here's my uni-student-budget bike. Quite proud of it to be honest. Put quite a bit of work in searching parts and building it.
Parts:
- Deda Kronos basebar
- Zipp Vuka Evo carbon 110mm extension
- Reynolds Strike wheels
- Quarq Dzero powermeter
- Pro Vulture Saddle
- Shimano 105 5700 groupset

Future updates:
- New brakes
- 11spd upgrade
