It comes in matte black, white, Movistar, white/lime, white/blue, white/red, black/lime and black/red (like mine). The Norwegian distributor only received a few samles so far. I also have a black whisper already, most fond of the solid color versions.

Fit is not identical, but quite similar. Maybe a little bit shallower, but sits perfect on my head.

My current Whisper is white and I like, a lot. Thanks for the additional info my Norwegian friend!

either one - met veleno or met forte - confuse!

Was in London and picked up these

30mm wide carbon 29er wheelset from Light-Bicycle.com Novatec hubs and Pillar Aero spokes 1503g.
QR's were an additional 103g
Wheels arrived 2 days before they said they would. Box was packaged very well. Checked spoke tension and made sure they were round and true. Both front and rear each had one spoke that was a little under tensioned. But not so bad.

New 2.1 Maxxis Ignitors. I thought the rim width would spread out the mounted tires more, but they did not. Messured exactly 2.1.
I would have gone with something like 2.25 atleast.

I cant wait try these out.
XT 11-34 cassette and have some new Ashima rotors on the "weigh"....Overall will drop about 520g from my current setup.

IME; new mtb tires tend to spread out a little after a few rides.

That would be great if they do. I am running a rigid Scott scale and I had hoped for some beefier tires to soften the ride a bit.
I hope the bead loosens up a bit too. I had a difficult time getting tires on even with tire levers.

Omni racer carbon braze on clamp adapter and a omni racer carbon post with carbon cradle. Post is 116g and clamp is 6g.

New R-sys slr for the storck

2x Roubaix 24mm tubbies, 69$ each.

some heavy reading...

thats a good book, started to read it myself, some good info on there.

Veloflex Roubaix's might be the best tires I've ridden. Mine measured closer to 25 than 24, but I've got nothing but good words about them.

A new stem:


Less than 24h from 3T Italy to Stockholm.
