Spring last year i get infected with the weightweenie virus, unfortunately my old frame (a Look KG461) i bought used from a friend was not really light (1.8kg with fork and headset).
So for the upcoming season is decided to get something brand new,
the only limit was that the frameset should not cost more than 1000€, an noname taiwan frame? no thanks, not for me...
I wanted something with a name... luckily i found a very good offer at a bikestore in Salzburg (i am from Vienna, Austria). 1200€ for a brand new Cervel RS in size 51 with 3T Funda fork, Syntace P6 and a carbon CankeCreek Headeset. I think you can call it love at first sight... i wanted this frame... NOW... so waiting for transfering the money and get it sent by mail? ahm... NO...
Same week, saturday morning 9AM, get into the car for a short trip to salzburg (around 300km oneway...) the shop closes at 1PM... i arrive there at 12:50! After more then 7 hours i finally arived at home, with my new frame in the trunk and a big smile on my face.
The first fitting of the parts shows me, it was a very good investment.
In th next few days i will build it up with a 2007 record, a fulcrum rs, syntace parts, a schmolke sl handlebar and my frm fl-r23 carbonwheels...
right now only 2 parts are missing, the brakes (dont know, should i buy some kcnc or some record skeletons, what are you think?) and a new freewheel for the frm (last season i drove a ultegra sl)
so long, so good... hope my english is not that bad like i think
