I got this back in the winter and finally got around to taking some photos of the bike. (I'm still waiting for a new saddle to finish the Sagan WC) This is my training and crit bike, replacing the Allez, which I loved but got a great deal on this frame. It rides great, way more comfortable than the Venge and really stiff in the BB. The wheels roll really well, not as wide as my Zipp 303s, but still plenty aero. And the brakes are awesome! It really helps in a crit where I can dive into a corner and brake later than anyone else.

I built it with parts I already had, except for the Zipp 70 Ergo bars, which help me offset the 10 mm extension of the hydraulic hoods. It's no weight weenie, but it's under 17 lbs, which I guess is fine given that it's not my WW bike. :|

I have the same bike in size 52. I replaced the stock wheels with a pair of Enve 3.4 Disc with extralite hubs. It was a big improvement in weight. The stock wheels are real boat anchors.

Thanks for the compliments!

mnmasatto - I thought about trying to lose some weight with this bike: switching to XTR calipers, lightweight disc rotors, wheels, etc........ But decided to build another bike instead! :D
