I am riding my dream tri bike: Corima Fox with Giant carbon fork, Renn disc rear, Nimble Fly rear for windy days and very hilly races, Lew Sydney front, Campy Delta brake (front), Sweet Wings crank, Bartol System, Bici Pidasso aero bar on Nitto base bar, Campy carbon brake levers, Profile UPS shifter, Flite Evolution saddle, Cat Carbon Bikes bottle holder. The only things I would switch is the rear brake (Cat USA for the Ultegra), and get that tasty Bartol Rear mech instead of the Dura Ace one. I would not mind if I could get the original carbon finish on that puppy, and I would entertain switching the fork for a Look HSC 3 or a Wolf. But- it is a dream in progress. See the pic (mind you, before the Lew, the Giant fork, and the Campy Delta brake) at
www.timetrial.org.
Road bike is getting there: GT Course 853 with a Look HSC 3 fork, 9 Speed Shimano drivetrain, downtube shifters, Campy aero/non-aero brake levers, and same race wheelset that the Fox uses (Lew front, Nimble rear). I am going to get the Kestrel drop bar to allow the use of shorties, and get some better cranks than I have (I have 8 speed 105 right now), as well as sort out the seat post and get a Flite Evolution saddle.
BUT- there's always a pie in the sky dream bike: road- Mandaric scandium Frankenbike with Campy Record (Tiso rear mech and other parts), or go for broke and get a Mandaric 753 (lugs!!!!) with downtube shifters and a set of Campy Hyperion wheels and Campy Record (with Tiso parts as mentioned above).
Pie in the sky tri bike? Lotus Sport 110 with Mavic Zap drive train, Bartol System, Mavic I/O front wheel, Renn disc, Zipp, Hooker or Campy Delta brakes and Hooker aerobars. Okay, one more: Zipp 3001 with Zipp brakes, Renn disc and Zipp 3000 front wheel with ITM Rominger bars and Lotus Fork. Okay, one more: Cheetah with their conventional fork and handlebar (ala Badmann), Twist-grip brake levers (ala Badmann), Renn disc and ADA wheels, Cat Carbon Bikes carbon crank, 9 Grip Shift, and Bartol System.
I better get a bigger hutch...
