Any recommendations on what components I should build with? I was thinking Sram Red and really like the limited edition tour lte in the black and yellow I just think the yellow decals will clash. How easy would it be to remove the decals? I know they are cleared over so it would be another repainting project. I don't know if I can wait that long since I want to ride the bike! otherwise I'll probably just get the standard Sram Red but I prefer something unique :)

that is truly a piece of art. absolutely beautiful.

As far as a build... I would say either a Zipp Chrono or Vision Trimax crank with SRAM red components and Nokon cables. Don't do anything cheesy like a colored chain.

Given the first rate job you've done so far, I am hesitant to second guess your aesthetics...

I can't tell you how many different levels of cool that project is. Makes me wonder what my Transition would look like in the "pig pink" color scheme from the 917 days...
I haven't painted a frame in a number of years. And that number is big: My scheme was a neon fade. On steel.
Stupid question: Did you strip the stock paint job, or spray over it?


It's simple, but it isn't easy.

Yea I don't think the yellow would match the scheme too well. SRAM for sure. Maybe some zipp R2C shifters.

OT,

where did you find that Macca quote? One of the podcasts? I can't seem to locate it.

Absolutely stunning! I love your idea with the s-works decals. Do you plan on riding it regularly?

The Macca quote was from the NBC coverage. I think it was shortly after he was discussing his relationship with Craig Alexander. I sort of paraphrased his description of the conversation:
"When I got to Kona, the German media kept asking me if Andreas was unbeatable this year, and I said, 'Absolutely, I don't know why I train.' "

Yea, seriously...the bike is like a pair of Nossa's, except ten million times cooler. I would almost be afraid to ride it, both because I'd HATE getting it dirty and would have a problem justifying it being between my weak-ass legs.

Can't wait to see the full build!
