Focus Izalco Max Project

[prendrefeu]

That's a nice frame weight!

[UncleJohn]

Yeah it defenatly deserve some lighter parts but a 2 weeks vacation in Morocco for christmas is slowing down the project! In the future i want it sub6.5 including pedals and Garmin 800.

Looking forward to the finished build.
As far as i know, "Focus" dictates to use exclusively their expander with the Izalco max-fork, so i am very curious about your experiences with using the Extralite-expander instead.

Hello Reedplayer, is actualy one of the parts i'm still missing but really light though. I will let you know if went smoth

[de zwarten]

Really like those frames, some guys in my group ride a Focus (but I guess a more weighty model).

Where did you source it?

[UncleJohn]

Hello de zwarten,
Never seen one arround Paris, not even in another colors.
You mean where did i source the frame weight?

[de zwarten]

I meant: where did you buy it?

Looking forward to see the finished bike!

[UncleJohn]

I didnt buy it. I sent my Focus Izalco Pro 3.0 to waranty and after a big fight with my dealer and Focus i got this one to replace mine. They wanted to send the Cayo from 2015, really got too but not my kind of ride!

[jumbo505]

One of my favorite frame!

[BlackMadone]

Nice warranty upgrade.... I wish I can pull that off

[UncleJohn]

Big big fight! They wanted to give me the 2015 Cayo, wich is not bad but not the same kind of ride. So after a week or so they send me this one, with the wrong fork but ok!

Sorry UJ for missing this. What a awesome looking bike. You got it spot on . classy.

[UncleJohn]

Thanks Xena, can't wait to finish it, weight it and ride it

[UncleJohn]

Hello again to everyone,
I will get the last parts i need during next week and also finish the seat post, i weigth the bike yesterday and 5,5kg so far, so if i didnt forget anything will end up arround 6,900kg (i know its heavy but i will change some stuf as soon as possible)... I Love the yellow cables

I just ordered an Aeroad but I was really close to go for a Izalco Max 1.0 DA DI2 that was on sale. Don't know why but the classic look of the Izalco really gets me going for some reason.

Gz on a nice bike and looking forward to seeing the finished build
