I know. It will change.


Isaac brand is rare, because people prefer large and well-know companies. I think that a "smaller" companies such as Ax-Lightness or Berk etc. can be much better. They have time and passion to create good quality parts.


Now something about my own parts:
I do not have pictures of the first saddle lamination process, which is why I make another one. Maybe I'll do a demonstration model or something :) I think my production technology is not much different from the manufacturers of bicycle parts. I have tools to create composites and their precision machining. I can also do any drawing with the airbrush. Maybe in the future will be an option with foam and skin on the top.

Looks like your ran out of bar tape. If you like it then fine, but to me it's quite awkward.

Here are saddle tops for next sets. This one on the right weight only 28 grams. With my 70kg works perfectly. The next plan is to do a normal saddle and check them.

:o how does it feel? "Flexible", or on the stiff side? Clamping like tune concorde/becker?
Thanks, regards,

With combo this top is really stiff. When it is combined with a seatposts it is impossible to bend saddle with hands.
I think that saddle will be stiff also with rods. I will check it.
I want to make a normal clamping system. It should be lighter or in similar weight.

A little confrontation:

Red or Dura Ace?

btw. anyone knows whether the Dura Ace 9000 crankset works with 10s Shimano groupsets?

gloss or matt Elites?

I'm a Shimano man so my vote goes with DA.

Nice to see another Isaac bike ;)

I think I can still make this bike lighter if I will change schifters and a few little parts :)

changing shifters would have been my suggestion as next step (yes, i know, not difficult to recognize ;-) ). principally nothing against ultegra 6600, but somehow, they do not really fit to a bike like that.

It's not a big problem for me to make another combo like this :)
