I have bought some new 303's but havent used them yet. I have bought some Lightweight Standard's which haven't arrived yet, and I have also bought a set of Edge 1.38 rims which I might build up to a sub 1kg wheelset. So there is much to come for this bike! I've also got a TT projekt on the way. I have bought a unique Isaac Efficiency Prototype frame that I might build up for use. But not yet sure if I will do so, or get another TT frame.


Are you an oil tycoon or one of the rolling stones or something :D

hehe nope :lol:
I got the isaac TT frame and Edge rims cheap of ebay. The 303's are not brand new, but used ones from 2005(so not all that expensive, but they are in very good condition). And the lightweight's are also second-hand. I rarely buy anything brand new, as used parts are so much cheap'er, and they keep their value pretty well. :) that's also why I can affoard to try all these different wheelsets and other parts. Because if I bought it all from new, the I would loose almost 50% each time I sold something, and i can't affoard that! But when I can sell an item i don't like with only the shippingcosts as a loss, then I can affoard to try many diferent parts! :)

Arrived today--structure seems ok but the clear coat has yellowed and cracked in spots--came from the Nth of Australia and I suspect copped a lot of sun in a shed or something
It will come up ok though---I will rub back the cracked areas and cut it back
Can I ask---are the highlights silver or white( mine are a sort of yellow silver colour!) and--when your frame was repaired was it necessary to clear coat the whole thing or was he able to blend it

The paintjob on mine is silver. The carbon has also faded a bit on mine. if you look close, then the carbon looks brown.
the frame needed a full respray of clearcoat after the repair, but it only got clearcoat on ca half the frame, and you can clearly see where it has got clearcoat and where it hasn't..

Got exactly the same frameset; it was yours I stumbled upon when looking for reviews that got me absolutely stoked and made me buy it.

It's a second hander (bought it in April already), fitted with Ritchey-parts, Campa Chorus (a triple, previous owner was a BIG guy. I can't bother; it's virtually never on the inner ring). They came with a set of handbuilt CXP33's (Record hubs) which are really nice; swap 'em for Neutron Ultras when it gets steep. Also fitted a really hard and flat Prologo-saddle, which seems to be about the only one my bottom can handle on long (long!) rides.

It's nowhere near as sexy as yours; but all in all, I love the thing.

Here in Holland, especially the region I live, you've got cobbles all over. Can be a harsh machine on those occasions, with 5hrs+ rides I'm battered when I get home. What's your experience for that matter? But boy, does it fly when I want it to.

Anyway: just update me if you might be selling some parts ;-)

(baby says cheese!)

Allways nice to see another Isaac! And yours is a very nice one indeed!
My longest ride has been 3.5 hours and that was a very good ride! I think it is really comfy for the roads here in Denmark :)
Actually, right now as we speak I am disasembling mine :( But it will be rebuild again! Hopefully to the summer of 2010. I am going to get my frame refurbished as it is in a pretty bad state cosmeticly. It has a lot of stonechips. But will get it either repainted in a costum paintjob(but close to the original paintjob) or re-clear coated. I'll find out about that during the winter :) But one thing is for sure, I will rebuild it so it will look like the one in the model-photos you can find on google.(The ones where it is all black with Lightweight wheels and Speedneedle saddle). Will be killer!
I also have one more Isaac Force frameset in size 54. Identical to the one I have pictures of here. It is being repaired at the moment for a small crack from a chaindrop. I might sell it, but I think that I will keep it and build it up as a school racer. Baybe flatbar. Could be nice! :)

as for items for sale, then I don't have much at the moment. Most of the items I sell is being sold in Denmark, but I have sold some wheels in here for instance :)

good to hear!
beautiful bikes. especially the force with the zipps.
i like the timeless design of this generation of isaac bikes. i own one (sonic 07) by myself since three years and have no desire at all to get another frame. (but changed many other things like wheels, group, etc)
