I´m living a dream! (Bike Pjorn)

Triathlon Forum

I´ve always followed the old school line that “Equipment doesn´t matter, its all about fitness” I guess I´m a bit wrong when comes to cycling! After riding my last racing bike for 7 straight years, I was very very surprised with how a new bike, new technology can make a difference, I guess now I can´t blame the bike for not outsplit Norman Stadler anymore! For the first time I´m riding something completely new!

Planet X Stealth Carbon Frameset (Thanks Dave and Peter)
Ultegra 10s parts - DA Crankset (Thanks Toni at maisbike)
Fizik Aliante Saddle (Ok, this is not new but I love it!)

I´m not sure how the quality of the picture is going to be, but bike is so HOT i can´t stop staring at it!

Swweeeet. I’m not sure you have enough drop, though.

More drop = being able to file his nails on the front tire w/out taking his hands of the bars.

Nice ride, after 7 years you deserve the upgrade.

Could you get a drink mix to match the black/grey tone the blue just seems to stick out a little :wink:

All kidding aside sweet ride enjoy it!

Peace,
RF

Sweet ride, what stem is that?

6

Nice ride! What did you have before?

7

Glad to see you found an upgrade.

You were on the old Felt B2 from Answer correct?

8

You wouldn’t believe what a big time saver that is.

Very nice Vinnie. Congratulations!

Hey Vinnie ,

Very nice bike and set-up … very agressive also …

And about IM Brazil , are you going for top 5 now ???

Hi Luiz, Top 5 is the goal, and hopefully some Kona Slot is going to roll down straight into my hands! How is your training going?

-The stem is called “Trans X” US$20, pretty cool as there is a huge X in the clamp, so it kinda fits the bike brand.

-Yep, I was on a Felt B2 before, the Answer-Easton Model, 1999 or 2000 model, not sure as I bought it 2nd hand.

-Drop is not as huge as it seems, and gotta take advantage on the older guys with stiffer backs!!! I suppose within few years I´ll need another stem.

“Drop is not as huge as it seems, and gotta take advantage on the older guys with stiffer backs”

Like Joe Bonness? :wink:

How on earth is the drop not as huge as it seems?!?

Maybe he’s built like Peter Reid with orangutang arms.

Enjoying Carnaval?
