My new Guru Cron-Alu kitted out to race.
Lots of thanks to Rob at Guru, Superdave at Zipp and Bill Rehor from Shimano as well as Peter foremrly of FSA. Thanks guys.
It ain’t no P3 but it’s still nice. I couldn’t read the stickers on the wheels, what do they say?
Now if it only were a Griffen…
Get some of those thinner tubular wire stands - they don’t distract from the rear wheel as much… and you might want to sweep the tarmac a little better - I see a stray pebble
Thought you going with a P3C?..or is that your short course bike…
She’s a beauty! I love Gurus. How does your position on the Cron’Alu compare to the your position on the Aero Ti that you wrote an article about on your site?
Come on,
Tom is selling bikes. It is time to promote GURU.
No offense, Tom !
P.S.: I hate yellow bikes.
Reminds me of the postal service bikes back in the old days that were about 100 pounds loaded with mail. Let me tell you that every little rise in the road made you dismount and push that beast…
nice.
no FSA TT chainring?
Aint no P3…that that may not be all that bad. Now that I have one I REALLY dont get what all the hooplah is about.
I do have a P3C coming but it hasn;t arrived yet. Customers get their’s first. That said, it is tough to imagine a nicer bike than this. It is fully pissed and stupid fast. My position on this bike is dick-in-the-dirt, ugly fast. Raw power. The wheels are basically sick too. Five stars *****.
“pissed and stupid fast. My position on this bike is dick-in-the-dirt, ugly fast. Raw power.”
you sure you didn’t score higher than11?
Tom,
I’ll bet a box of donuts that bike fits me like a glove. Howzabout you sends it to me when you get that P3C???
;->
Ha HAAA. Glad you asked.
What you are looking at my firend is the super, ultra-rare and nearly impossible to find Shimano Dura-Ace 175 mm crankset WITH Shimano Dura-Ace 10 speed matched, synchronized 54/42 tooth chainrings. I ordered these cranksets in Spetember of '04 at Interbike and we only got four. The 54/42 tooth chianring combo is nearly impossible to find.
Sorry dude, my girlfriend’s picture is already on the top tube:
.
how’d you get the pic to look so good?
She from Brazil

coupla things:
-
Could that bike get anymore perfect. Probably no. Well done. Your taste is bikes is truly exceptional. Oh … yellow bikes always look fast. Like orange bikes.
-
What happened to your P3SL? You seemed to really like it.
-
Did Guru do the art on the toptube … your Brazilian lady friend? or did you do that?
Anyway, thanks again. it’s fun living vicariously thru your (my, and our shared) bike obsession.
Does she still live here ???
Maybe I can meet her …
I kept my P3SL for quite while. I really liked it. A customer liked it better…
The top tube art is a sticker applied using wetting agent to make the flashing disappear. You smooth it on with a squeegee while wet. Comes out awesome.
She lives here now. She’s flight attendant.
I really like Guru’s, especially the one with the tubing that makes you wonder if you aren’t on acid or some other hallucinogen. However, something about this bike looks off. Maybe it’s the seatpost/seattube mismatch in size? Possibly it’s the front wheel being thicker than the downtube? Maybe it’s the competing Guru and Zipp logos? Possibly it’s the yellow of the frame with the red of the wheels/seatpost? I really don’t know, but I like the yellow, I’m a yellow kind of guy. Nice bike, for sure.
