DANICA - 5960g / 13.13 lbs Cervelo SLC. New pics on pg 8
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
I weighed the bike and it is currently 5960g / 13.13 lbs. This bike is a rocket.
I have now updated the cranks to some new to me Lightning 170mm with semi aero Fibre-Lyte 50T and a FSA 36t small ring (just until I change over the rings on my English build) then this will get a 34t carbon inner.
Berk saddle is not new but I am ridding this now and it is an amazing piece of kit. So nice to ride this saddle even though everyone that sees it thinks I am nuts.
The stem/bars were supposed to be a lot more but in the end we could not do what I was hoping for so we just settled for the stem/bar bonded. That being said, these bars are solid and feel so amazing while out of the saddle sprinting and climbing.
I have two ELITE CRONO aero bottles on order and will have to sort out the cassette as my aluminium KCNC has two broken teeth and is basically done. Will have to find something light and 11/23

good to know. Always wanted to try the front brake on my bike. I agree you should use a better pad like the enve pads. If not, black prince or even the campy red carbon pads are very very good. They also make them shimano compatible part# cam-br-bo500x.

Didn't know that. That sucks. There is always fairwheelbikes, but I see they are backordered for shimano version at the moment.
Did you try sending an email or calling enve?

I wish you would have said something. I have some SwissStop Black, and Renyolds Cryro Blue pads I could have sent you with the cranks.

Just let me know. I would be glad to unload them. I think 52/36 is my new gear.

For lightness 50/34 11/23 is best. I wanted more top end so I went 52/36 11/23. I did a 102 mile ride with 11,000ft of climbing on Saturday, and I only wanted lower gearing the last 15-20 miles.
