After finishing IMAZ a few weeks ago, I decided I needed a new bike…so I bought this Griffen used from a guy selling it locally. I spent all my money on the frame & now need the 'twitchers help to build it into my dream bike.
If you were building your dream bike, what would you put on this bike?
Do you have spare parts you are looking to sell?
Image seems to have developed the dreaded “red x” syndrome!
There is a neat tool over on http://weightweenies.starbike.com/ called the PBC (paper build configurator) which lets you design your bike with the parts you want and see what its total weight will be: Paper Build Configurator -beta-** Frame Trek 5500 OCLV USPS 54 cm 1246 g 1 1/8" headtube, w/ headset cups, w/ bottle cage bolts Fork Kinesis Wedge 1" 700C 536 g 238 mm steel steerer, carbon fibre aero blades Headset TOKEN EOXIS-Z (TK667CN) 1 1/8" 73 g excl. star nut (10 g), top cap (8 g) and bolt (8 g) Headset Spacer ZIPP Carbon 30 mm 12 g 1", thick high quality carbon w/ ZIPP logo Stem Weyless M-8 80 mm 7° 137 g 1 1/8", for 25.4 mm bars Handlebar Syntace C2 Clip Ultralite M 389 g clip-on aero bar Grips/Bar Tape Ritchey True Grip WCS 57 g foam Bar Ends g Seatpost Specialized Pave Advanced Composite 27.2/350 mm 260 g Saddle Selle San Marco Aspide Triathgel 205 g Seatpost Clamp CODA OEM 27.2 mm 45 g QR Brakes Shimano Ultegra BR-6500 337 g front/rear 171/166 g, also weighed 330 g g Shifters Shimano Dura-Ace SL-BS77 177.5 g bar end shifters incl. mounts, averaged (176/179) Brake Levers Shimano Dura-Ace BL-7402 240 g Aero road brake levers Front Derailleur Shimano Ultegra FD-6500 braze-on 80 g +30 g for 35 mm band adaptor Rear Derailleur Shimano UItegra RD-6500-SS 216 g short cage Bottom Bracket Shimano Ultegra BB-6500 68x109.5 mm 231 g Octalink, BSA Crank Set g Pedals Shimano PD-7800 282.5 g SPD-SL, averaged (281/284) Chain Shimano CN-HG93 108 links 273 g 9-speed Cassettes Shimano Ultegra CS-6500 11-23 9-speed 195 g w/ lockring (13 g) Skewers Tranz-X Secura Lock 96 g front/rear 46/50 g Wheels HED Stinger V50 1490 g 700C tubular, w/out skewers (add 45+55 g), claimed 580/810 g Rim Tape g Inner Tubes g g Tyres Tufo S3 Lite <215 g 700Cx21 204 g Tubular tire, averaged (200/201/205/210) Tufo S3 Lite <215 g 700Cx21 204 g Tubular tire, averaged (200/201/205/210) Cables g g Bottle Cage(s) CatEye BC-100 41 g w/out bolts (+5 g) CatEye BC-100 41 g w/out bolts (+5 g) Custom #1 Profile Air Wing bullhorn bar 240 g Custom #2 Rotor Cranks RS4 Ti 1230 g Custom #3 Cables 150 g Custom #4 **Grease 50 g 8738 g created in 0.66299891471863 http://weightweenies.starbike.com/
