my felt f1 56cm

[liketoride]

well i have been looking everyday on here, and i just love this place. i got into cycling about 1.5 years ago as a way to exercise daily that was much more enjoyable than running on a treadmill. i get dropped off at work and ride 23 miles home m-f and i have to climb 1100 ft everyday and that is why i am such a big fan of WW's because i am one big time. I am a very heavy rider compared to most of you out there and in general. i am 103kg or 228 pounds so finding the really light stuff for my bike has been the biggest challenge that i have had to over come. I have some upgrades that i am planning on later down the line this year so this is just where it is today. I bought the bike new at the time and it came in at 14.5 pounds. i had it all stock for about 4 months and then the 12 reds came out and i saw that i could save a pound so i sold the DI's in the name of WW and the reds. then i bought the wheels that took off more wt and then the bug really hit me and i have been after it ever since as funds become available and the fact that i do not have any kids is helping the cause. current build list

these are just a few more i have pics of everything but thought these were the ones i went with. Sorry for the mess in my little space in the garage as i have been taking off parts and putting parts on i have not had time to clean it.

Looks promising...any chance of seeing the frame?

[liketoride]

yes i will post a pic of the frame tomorrow, i had taken it apart to weight everything and i just spent the last couple of hours putting it all back together, but for some reason the yaw is a hassle to get back on the right track. it takes me a couple of times to get the front shifting like it is supposed to. Sorry about not having the frame in the first pics.

What wheelset is that? Love Felt bikes, so definitely keeping track of this thread!

[liketoride]

Well this is a pic of what the frame wt plus it had bearings in it i have included a pic of those as well. i have a pic of everything on the list so if you want to see something else just let me know. thanks. i will have full bike pics later on today as i did not finish putting it back together last night but after today it will be up and running.

[liketoride]

the wheelset is enve tub 1.45 on alchemy hubs. those dropped almost a pound off from the wheels that came on the bike if i remember correctly. I really like them. they are good everyday wheels at a good wt for my size.

[liketoride]

well i have finally put my bike all together and this is what it looks like not all in pieces.

[liketoride]

i did not see a pic of the chain in there so here it is

[dddavid]

from what I can see it looks really great. but bigger pictures (of the complete bike at least) please!

[liketoride]

sorry it was my first time loading pics and i thought it said that it has a max of 60kb and i just saw that it said 160kb so i will repost some larger pics of the full bike later on today with my phone.

[liketoride]

well on my ride home i took some full bike pics, so here they are sorry about the photos it was on my phone and i have ridden 140 miles since i cleaned it friday.
