a lot off nice pic's c a s r a n !!
when are you gonne use the bike for the first time?

[Adrien]

It should be a very fast bike. What's the problem about the gears?
52-11 or 53-11 isn't big enough?
If you're talking about the useless 23 and 21 teeth cogs, ok I agree then

[Rudy]

Man, I'm green with envy

[caballero]

is that a gap between the head tube an headset bearing cover ?

[Erez_Pinarello]

I think you have a non equal Q-Factor now

[jmg3]

great looking bad, say, do you even need brakes on a TT : )

Sharp eyes! You're right. It's very difficult to find a perfect match with this headset. Damn internal headsets!!

Nope. SRM Pro and Campagnolo Record cranks have the same Q-Factor!!

[C a s r a n]

My Litespeed Blade had some major changes since I am sponsored by Oval Concepts: Bontrager bars and stems are gone, Record brakes as well, the SRM Pro and Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork are sold...

Currently with FSA SRM; that will be changed for an Ergomo.

Brakes by Oval Concepts.
Oval R700 stem.
Oval A900 stock bars.
Fork Oval JetStream.

wow, look awesome!!!!

That oval brakes are so cool, its a pity the fork on my TT-bike is not built for this!

Just one thing I would change: take a stem with 84 degrees, looks better in my opinion cause u don't need so much spacers !

How many centimeters are u behind the BB with your saddle?

I like the new Oval stuff compared to the Trek ( sorry i meant Bontrager )

My position is not set on the bike.

In fact I don't need any spacers at all, but I did not cut the fork lenght because I won't ride this bike very often this year (I will try it next week). I will lend it to a team mate for the entire 2007 season; he will be fitted on the bike in wind tunnel in the US later on this month.

Ok, I see!

So your TT-Bike will be the Kalibur? When u'll get it and u already think about which parts u'll mount?

It's yours in 2008 if you join our team, Michael!

Yes, I think that will be my own TT. Not sure when I will build it up. I have some thoughs, but I'm still unsure about what is possible. Austrian TT wheels will sponsor our team, so that's a sure choice.

[mike18]

Yhea OK, I just signed a contract for one year, so lets talk at the end of the season !

U already have one, now another pair, thats very nice! U get everything for free and I even have to pay for my teambike next year, thats unjust !!

So what u'll do with the SRM if u have ergomo on your race bike?
