As much as I like the Rock Creek Park for riding, these roads are begging to get redone! It can be a mess when riding fast in a group with all the random potholes.

Plenty of WW around DC

re frame weight, your shop (our ours) scales might out. my 2013 SLR in 57cm (same colour) was 970g with biddon bolts and dr' tip. i weighed a 55 for this year and 50 and both were what you would expect v's my larger bike.

Definitely seem to be lighter than last years frames, the brand manager from AU informed me when i asked, last years SLR was a different lay up and they were heavier even in the matte finish (which is lighter than the gloss).

Nice work! Can you treat the bonding point to look alike with the rest of the combo?

Like it a lot! Very pro and the steam-bar combo is great.

The ride just leaves from there and the park is only a few minutes of the actual ride. It goes out and around Potomac and comes back. Its a lot faster than the Cyclelife ride as most of the local 1/2 elite riders show up. Good times.

The 7AM also leaves from there, but doesn't ride in it. RCP has some bad spots but its really not that bad IMO. If you Google either ride there are maps of both. 10AM leaves from the gates at Broad Branch, the 7 leaves from Beach/East West Highway. The route is more boring now that Clara Barton is off limits, but its still pretty damn fast if the right people show up. In the Summer its great.

Love this setup !

Hi there....A few minor changes: Tune top cap, Extralite expander, Veloflex Corsa 22, weight just under 6.5 kg (14.3 lbs) with Ksyrium SLR training wheels and surprisingly heavy Mavic inner tubes (will install Challenge Latex soon)

Here are some better pics (well, it's all relative! )...
