Ryan's Tossaround Race Machine (a Fuji Altamira)

[FilmAt11]

BB drop is 69mm, right? 45mm would be extreme on a road bike, probably good for bunny hops.

Hmm, looks like they mixed up the lines

Some more parts that were swapped. Overall, Fuji specc'd some reasonably light parts.

Fuji top cap and expander at 54g:



Replaced with Fairwheel top cap/alloy bolt and Extralite Ultrastar 2 @ 14g:



Savings: -40g

Spacer Option #1: 2cm alloy @ 19g



Spacer Option #2: 2cm Omniracer alloy spacers @ 8g:



Spacer Option #3: 2cm carbon generic @ 9g:



Savings: -11g

Until I decide that I'll be keeping this, I'm going to leave the steerer with the extra 2cm, especially since I'm not running the bearing top cover.

The Oval Seatpost was a bit of a surprise at 185g:



Hardware is a boat anchor, and can easily save 20-30g with better hardware. Post only @ 113g:



To New Ultimate Evo Seatpost, cut to 250mm @ 96g:



Savings -89g

Oval bearing cover (tall) @ 11g:


Replaced with Omniracer carbon low stack @ 7g:

Oval seatpost clamp @ 18g



To Tune 34.9 clamp @ 10g:



Savings: -8g

Fizik Arione Saddle @ 254g:


To Berk Padded Leather @ 94g



Savings: -160g

Overall, -312g saved in round two of parts bin swapping.

Here's a pic from my ride the other morning. I've been ruined by the R5ca, 13ish pounds used to feel light. I would have sworn this was in the 15s based on picking it up.

Current weight: 13.65 lbs (6.2 kg)

Lol that quickly escalated quickly from "tossaround status"

Like this for racing

@prebsy, lol yeah. The PM is temporary until I get the final components on the Scott (although they go for fairly cheap used, so I may pick up another) and the RZRs was more to get an idea as to how the frame rides compared to the Cervelo. The rest of it was stuff sitting in the parts drawer, most of which has limited resale value.

Regarding frame ride, the Cervelo is a lot more compliant of a frame. I felt fairly beat up on today's ride. That was partially because I was running tires 10psi higher than normal but I think a lot has to do with the alloy bars. My hands hurt after 40 miles. Saddle to bar reach is identical to the Cervelo, bars are about 1cm higher too, which should help if anything and tape is slightly thicker wrapped. My hands have never bothered me on the Cervelo, even after 100 miles. Is there that much difference with an alloy bars or should I double check the angles of everything? Carbon bars are definitely going to move it further away from tossaround status.

This thing looks so sick. Impressive weight for parts bin bike!

[Lightweenie]

great build! Is the groupset (except for the cranks) all Sram Rival?

Seems Red with custom color (except for the crank).
Looks fast as f#%k. This steerer tube needs a saw.

You should ride the 30 year old, 25 pound steel bika that "won" Montrose Short a few weeks ago:
