Welcome to the forum.

Isaacs are great bikes, I own one myself as well. It seems like your new bike could have a friendly meeting with some degreaser Are you into Triathlon, because your seatpost is turned 180 degrees. You've got a solid build on your hands. I'm sure you can make it lighter.

Wow, lovely bike, just think the seatpost being backwards looks very odd!

[ultyguy]

Nice Sonic, had 2 of them myself, great bikes, super handling while nice and stiff, enjoy!

edit- get a thomson 0 degree setback seatpost, had one on mine, will look better

[AAbrigo]

Actually the reverse seatpost is because I think my stem is too long and didnt wanted to buy A cheap stem, so just reversed the seatpost temporarily

Thanks for the comments.

Will definitely think about getting A new seatpost without setback and will check Thomson

nice bike, altough rode isaac-bikes for many years, great framesets!

what about turning up the shifters? might be more comfortable, and you could adjust the saddle to a common position.

[AAbrigo]

Thanks.

I love to ride my bikes in an aggressive way, so wont be changing how the handlebar is set, so it all comes down to the stem and seatpost once I can afford, some good parts

Just need to measure my actual setup, so I can find out how long my stem needs to be with the setback.

Isaac frames are all class, gold parts are a nice touch as well. I've grown tired of all back everything bikes (including my own). Anything that isn't matte/stealth looking is a welcome change.

Oooh, I love the black and gold color scheme. Reminds me of the John Player Special Lotus 79s of the '70s.

[AAbrigo]

Will definitely put pictures up, when all stuff has arrived. Then it's just some minor upgrades and the most important One! Wheelset!

Too bad I cant afford it atm, but just came a AX Lightness wheelset for sale in my area
