Why not a larger frame size?

Just seeing this post now, apologies. I'm confused about the question; don't know how to answer....

It appears that you are running a lot of spacers as well as a long stem, you would be suited for a larger frame size.

That's really pretty nice. I like the campy, the black mavic wheels and the yellow accents. Can you give a spec rundown?

Here's my latest. Just finished it yesterday. I'll cut off the excess steer tube when I've dialed it in.

Wheels are Mavic Ksyrium SLRs with the Griplink and Powerlink tires that come with them
Saddle is a Fizik Arione vs
Stem is an FSA OS99 carbon with the graphics removed
Bars are FSA SLK carbon with graphics removed
Cages are Blackburn Camber CFs
Bar tape is Lizard Skins
Pedals are Ultegra carbon

I've always been a little sceptical of integrated seatposts, but that bike is just about perfect. I've always had campy 10 and keep trying to pull the trigger on SRAM/Shimano road bikes but can't bring myself to do it.

Ahh I see the mixup. This was literally seconds after I put it together out of the box. A very loose assembly, nothing adjusted. At the top of the post I said I was getting it fit after christmas. Now it doesnt look like a girraffe is riding it

Just assembled yesterday and still finalizing the fit, so ignore the steering tube:

Just getting my TT rig primed for the season. Put the Quarq on, shortened some cables, dropped the stem. I still need to cut steer tube and glue my tires on, but those things won't happen today. But, rest assured, they will be done.




The P2's brother just got a wash/cleaning. It was time. First time it's been picture-worthy in a while.

Don't be too humble about that bike, my friend. Switch out the brake levers, get good fast tires, latex tubes, and rent a set of Zipps for your races, and I doubt you're giving up much more than 5-10 seconds/40k on bikes that cost 5 times what yours did. I've been riding a 2010 Seduza the last few years, and as soon as I saw your bike on the market, I wished I had waited.

Thanks. What upgrades have you done on your Seduza? Photo?

Nice.
Simple but effective.

Some constructive feedback: shorten up those derailleur cables. You wanna have less of them in the airflow ...

Waiting for a rep to swing that by. Hopefully soon, just going to have to get that 808 rear sold. It'll be funny to me to sell a wheel that's never been ridden.
