Lucero and pics

here you go boys…first is the set up…DA9sp + rotorcranks 55-42 and 11-21. Sorry lots of light out there today and the frame reflects a lot of it (and my dig. cam. is crap).

second is a close up on the chain stays and the internal routing

third is a close up behind the chain ring with a look at how the internal routing is done…really neat…

and a special for fbrissette…the front end and the headcone :slight_smile:

it rides really well. I don’t have a lot of room for large bottles on the frame (they fit though) as this is a small size 700.

It’s a frame that even midgets like me can ride in 700, and yet be aero as the headtube is really short. I will likely get rid of the adjustable stem and get a normal one and get rid of the spacer on it to get in the same postion. The frame is very light for a TT bike (didn’t weight it as I don’t really care though). I pushed the pace only about 15’ and it rode really nicely, good TT position, pretty comfie, ‘fell’ in my TT position very easily.

Definitely a bike to consider. Stiff, aero and light.

edit: here we go they loaded

how do you get those waterbottles out of their cages during a ride?

3

That is too cute! Can I hang it on my key chain?

Kidding! That is swiftly seet.

4

Sweet!!

Are those Velocity Deep V’s?

How do you like them? Looking for some rims for road racing/training to build up with a Powertap SL hub.

VERY nice indeed. Thanks esp for the close up pics of the cable routing, etc. One question though - what happens when a meathead (like me) overtightens the seatpost binder bolt and strips the threads?

It’s nice to see that there’s a handy place for me to attach a bungie cord, too. :slight_smile:

Very nice looking bike. Looks wicked fast.

A stupid question: What is the deal with Rotorcranks? I’ve seen posts referencing them, but was never intersted enough to read them (and now I’m too lazy to search). The Clif Notes explanation would be fine.

7

very nice, I’ll be looking for it @ IM Arizona when it comes flying by…

and then try to hang on …

8

Nice ride,

What wheelset will you race? That bike would look sweet with disc rear, 404 front.

9

considering your time in Oz…looks like you’ll have no problem hanging on…good job there!

10

drooling on my laptop…mmm…dude…go with cat cages (on ebay last I saw)…you can convert them to be side loading for waterbottles of unusualy size…have one going each direction for that double fisted approach. Seriously sweet machine…now…about those Softrides you own…

11

jeah, hopefully I will be back in that shape or better . Right now I am not as fast though. I am doing my thing but kinda slow. I’m coming to the states in begin of feb to adjust to the time dif. 1 week for every hour :slight_smile:

see ya there

12

Very nice!

what model clipon bar?

13

answering the Qs…
as Tibbs noticed this is a 12cm bike frame that you can attach to your key chain…

water bottles go out easily…no big deal there.

wheels are velocity. Really nice training wheels. pretty much indestructible. I like them a lot.

RC: check www.rotorcranksusa.com for details. like them a lot too.

Race wheels: Renn Disc rear, front undecided. maybe an other disc :wink:

14

vision tech base bar + vision tech clip ons, cut the curved part.
fully adjustable. $150. can’t beat that.

15

1 week per hour…darn…you really err on the cautious side don’t you? :wink:

16

it’s just too freaking shitty “belgian” weather here !! gotta do the miles if I want to jump on the modave express

17

Olaf will be here in March too…2.5 months or so. Should have a lot of fun here!
where are you going?

18

is he doing Arizona also ? I will be staying in LA.

19

he is doing Brazil for sure. AZ isn’t sure yet…it depends if he also has to race in Austria…doesn’t want to race 3 IM before kona as 04…too much

20

tell him austria, austria much better !!
