New Mantra seat too...
My new R3.
Disclaimer: I really, really wanted a C-50 (some of you might remember the thread I opened on this a while ago), but the price difference (and expenses with a wife and two kids) simply made it impossible to justify. Especially given the fact that I am really a weekend warrior, with work, business travel and family time. Ergo, I am trying to justify myself, but here goes...





Obviously, the wheels are mismatched (the other Fulcrum is getting trued). The components are straight off my old ride, and will be refined - I intend to order Campa Record ergos and black brakes to go better with the color scheme, and probably a Campa Record cf seatpost.
So a hodgepodge of Chorus 2003, Record and Chorus 2008 for now. Works fine, and is a relatively no-nonsense bike (IMHO). This is not really a weightweenie yet, but just felt the urge to share, although I am clearly not worthy of a lot of the other rigs on this board.
