Fun project underway - picked up a used Titanflex frame (size Extra Large XL, 2107g + 351g for boom & seat post clamp) and throwing on some premium parts...
Got a full 2012 SRAM Red TT (compact crank) groupo on order and a 3T Brezza II LTD cockpit on order. Rolf Vigor SL 34mm semi-aero wheels (much lighter than full depth aero wheels) with Hutchinson tubeless tires + stans sealant round out the build - It's very hilly in Brown County Indiana where I often ride so compact gearing and light wheels are a must! Maybe throw on a disc cover on for Muncie Endurathon - ok Ironman Muncie 70.3 now :(
Someday I'll upgrade to 60mm/66mm Madfiber carbon clinchers with all the race victory money I'll win on this ride (In my dreams!).
I'll publish a full part/weight spreadsheet when I finish the build around late April / early May when all the parts come in, but I estimate just under 18lbs without pedals (going with Egg Beater 11's).
Early build pics attached - The Mountain Bike stem & handlebar will be replaced with the 3T Brezza II's, the steerer tube will be cut down and the seat post will be cut to length as well...
Roll's pretty good down the street scooter style right now! Can't wait for the first ride!!!!!!!!
See finished build in Part 2...
