here you go boys...first is the set up...DA9sp + rotorcranks 55-42 and 11-21. Sorry lots of light out there today and the frame reflects a lot of it (and my dig. cam. is crap).





second is a close up on the chain stays and the internal routing



third is a close up behind the chain ring with a look at how the internal routing is done...really neat...



close up on the seat post and the superb clamp:



near the head tube



and a special for fbrissette...the front end and the headcone :-)





it rides really well. I don't have a lot of room for large bottles on the frame (they fit though) as this is a small size 700.

It's a frame that even midgets like me can ride in 700, and yet be aero as the headtube is really short. I will likely get rid of the adjustable stem and get a normal one and get rid of the spacer on it to get in the same postion. The frame is very light for a TT bike (didn't weight it as I don't really care though). I pushed the pace only about 15' and it rode really nicely, good TT position, pretty comfie, 'fell' in my TT position very easily.

Definitely a bike to consider. Stiff, aero and light.

Sweet!!

Are those Velocity Deep V's?

How do you like them? Looking for some rims for road racing/training to build up with a Powertap SL hub.

VERY nice indeed. Thanks esp for the close up pics of the cable routing, etc. One question though - what happens when a meathead (like me) overtightens the seatpost binder bolt and strips the threads?

It's nice to see that there's a handy place for me to attach a bungie cord, too. :)

Very nice looking bike. Looks wicked fast.

A stupid question: What is the deal with Rotorcranks? I've seen posts referencing them, but was never intersted enough to read them (and now I'm too lazy to search). The Clif Notes explanation would be fine.

Nice ride,

What wheelset will you race? That bike would look sweet with disc rear, 404 front.

answering the Qs....
as Tibbs noticed this is a 12cm bike frame that you can attach to your key chain...

water bottles go out easily...no big deal there.

wheels are velocity. Really nice training wheels. pretty much indestructible. I like them a lot.

RC: check www.rotorcranksusa.com for details. like them a lot too.

Race wheels: Renn Disc rear, front undecided. maybe an other disc ;-)

How much lower are the handler bars than the saddle?

How does this compare to your last bike?

I know that you like to ride low so that you do not push too much wind around. It will be interesting to hear the stats though.

it's lower by about 2cm. roughly 15.5cm now. a big drop for me as I am a small guy. sure Bjorn is around 25cm or so.

Francois,

What kind of stem is that? Also - do the visiontech bars come with the pads that close to the base bars already? Whats the distance from top of base bar to bottom of pads?

Thanks,

Dave
