Fresh build waiting for the customer to come in to get fit on it.
Enjoy!
Trek TTX 9.9
Campy record 10v
Zipp Crank
Zipp Vuka Aerobars
Ergomo power meter
Zipp clincher disk and clincher 404 front
Look Keo ti HM pedals
Same customer- same day, his other bike purchase:
Sweet. Love the yellow
Wow that’s an incredible build… except for the clinchers. Is he training on them?? The bike would be 400 grams lighter with tubies. I just saw my first ttx the other day; nice looking bike!
I saw my first also. How would the aluminium version of the Equinox ride in comparison to the carbon, as they both appear to be exactly the same (except for rear stays). I’m sure they are both very stiff, just a little more dampening in the carbon. My understanding is that the Trek aluminium frames are rather stiff, but similarly forgiving…
A Trek TTX with Zipps and ergomo and a Soloist carbon with Campy Boras, both full Record? Since when did drug dealers start riding bikes? I would have to take a second on my house to drop that kind of cash on bikes in one day.
When the customer picks them up, ask him if he is interested in adopting for me, please.
Thanks for posting the picks; they are beauties!
Very nice bikes but two issues:
-Clinchers, what the (&^%
-Erogomo sits too high
of yeah, seat is too high.
Don’t forget the zipp aerobars… riiiich beeatch

Robin Williams stop by? Is the buyer really going to ride them, or is this just some rich guy pickin up some bling?
I know the feeling… just finished building a 9.5 TTX with a project one custom paint job. very nice.
http://www2.trekbikes.com/bikes/bike.php?bikeid=1472000&f=1 Surprised they have not gone for this in Yellow to match there tri bike rather than the Soloist (though it does look great!).
A nice build but I have found using this mounted around the stem:

gets the Ergomo to sit a little lower - probably doesn’t make too much difference though.
Did you run the ergomo wire inside the frame or up the non-drive side? Got any pics? Very nice rides…

Might not apply to TTs in flat terrain but, Would you prefer to get a flat on a steep descent at a speed over 70 kph on a tubular or on a clincher? No sarcasm here, just a serious question.

I forgot… Nice bikes!

Nice Soloist build, but why does he only have a PM on the Trek? Seems strange to race with wattage but not train with it. Surely, money isn’t an option here.
Not Robin Williams, but a very high end customer who is a pretty strong rider. If he likes the bike, he generally buys an identical 2nd one as is the case with that Soloist Carbon. His personal stead is more indepth and impressive then most “tri shops” around!!
John Kerry - say it isnt so! 
His wife could buy them for him!!!
No, the cables are not internally run as you dont want to start drilling carbon frames. We do a very neat setup with the cables however.
