Just took it on the maiden voyage today! The only thing I have to do is replace the chainrings, they were previously on a 650c bike and are 55-42! Much harder to push on 700c wheels!
Now updated with Reynolds race wheels, new Dura Ace integrated crankset, Dura Ace barake calipers, lowered front end…Still to come are some Supergo carbon side entry cages and I will be done!
And don’t get any funny ideas because my killer attack dog will eat you!
dude,
hope to see you in 2 weeks. I will likely ride in LC for a change.
I agree… keep that big daddy 55. Pushin’ big gear is the way to go. Make you stronger, ja.
Where did you get your s-bends?
That is awesome. Hard to improve on. Might want to see a pointier seat nose, but the bluntness might work with the overall roundiness of the aerodynamics. Might want to see some different color tirewalls, just for fun, what you have may be perfect.
This is pretty exquisite.

Wow. Very trick.
I really dig what you did for the brakes and the wheels. Very good picks.
(We need to have a discusion about the rubber, though.)
Nice bike. If I may critique…
-Good call on ditching the 55/42 rings (unless you happen to pedal at a very low cadence or are doing a very flat/downhill course)
-Get some blackwall tires- the tan stands out on an otherwise black bike
-That bike would look smokin’ with a disc
Slow Sunday Morning. Bad Photoshop job. THese should be more of a pinstripe, or multi-pinstripes

That pink is badass, Monk. Just the ticket for REALLY pissing off the rednecks!
Very nice.

Thanks for all the cool input. I don’t think I stopped talking about this bike to my training partners since it came out. Best bike out there in my opinion.
I got the frame from Seton at Trisports in Tucson then moved everything over from my old bike. While I was in Tucson I also picked up the HED S-bend extensions that fit right into the carbon X bars. The American Classic are loaners from my brother until I can get some 700c wheels. They are nice though and I think I can train and race on them.
I don’t know about the colored tires. The guys at the LBS were trying to get me to buy some wild bar tape but I don’t think so. Very cool Photoshop work though.
THe front ends on Tri bikes are what looks so gangley (sp?). I would not draw attention to them with colored bar tape. Just me. But I would looke at those Michelin Pro race with the 3 turqoise pinstripes. Heck, they wear out if you ride.
That black/dark grey/light grey is really nice. I want it.
What would your pick be for a road bike? (and keep in mind we are just talking sex appeal, not performance!)
sorry…bump.
The dog is awsome! Those eyes are just screaming, “Hey man gotta snack or somthin’? I’mm gonna go lay down.”
The “ghost” dog is pretty cool but you need to trade it in for a black lab or Belgian Shepherd to match the bike. That is one nice ride. Stylin Brah
Oooh, so much better. The tires are much better.
What are you going to do with the old cranks/chainring?
