6.5 kg Black-on-Black CAAD10 - Done: 03/19/2015

[torob]

Seatpost came in today. Quoted at 153 g. Measured at 112 g.

Here's an awful pic in my basement partially built.


Waiting on my wheels and brake cables.

Looking very, very nice!

[GT56]

handlebar will be turned down, right

and the levers will move up on the handlebar, right ?

[locktopus]

GT56 - Yeah, they will be. I don't know how much, as this is my first build. Is there an example you could provide me on where they should go?

I adjusted them so that the tops/top part of drops were level with the ground, I guess they should point down further?

Bottom of the drops parallel to the ground, hoods in a comfortable position (about where they are now looks about right). Likewise the saddle could use leveling out, ie middle third parallel to ground. This should end up looking sweet though.

@ Raineman:

Saddle was just put on there to figure out the mechanism. I'll drop the bars down, I should keep the levers there?

Brake cables will be here Monday, wheels at the end of the week (carbon clinchers on DT240s). Stoked!

whereby the tips of the levers should be slightly lower than the 3.5 cm indicated on the drawing 2 cm max

@GT56 - Thanks!

This is what I meant, levers look in the correct position relative to the frame, not the bars.

[locktopus]

Thank you! That really helps. The FSA picture doesn't work for my bars. I'll adjust them today and repost.

[locktopus]

Hopefully these bars look a little better.



Cables are in.

I'm not posting another pic until it's built up!

[Raineman]

Nailed it now we just need to see it built

[locktopus]

Finally got the wheels in... still have to finish the cables, add the chain, wrap the bars, trim the fork, swap cassettes (anyone need a DA 9000 cassette?).

Still under 15 lbs.

Is the RD cable loop too long?

[rheosibal]

Yeah RD cable looks a tad long

[CaptainP]

Is the RD cable loop too long?

Looks good to me. Sram rd really likes to have long cables!

[NiFTY]

RD outer looks okay, but tuck it under the skewer nut. Only thing I'd change is to swap out the chainrings for black OR spray paint them black.
