The gruppo, wheels etc is all taken from my previous frame (Pro Machine)... Here are a few pics of the built, and the finished bike...Frameset and some nice BMC kit...
All the parts ready for the built...
Working inside in the kitchen because of the rain. Almost done!
BUILD LIST...
Can't wait to ride it (pics taken before the new parts arrived)...
NEW PICS with the new Tune bottle cages and ZIPP ti skewers. Before these upgrades my front skewer was also the speed sensor, now I have a separate one and decided to install it on the rear chain stay...
As seen here the bike has a minimal paint job as most of the frame is unidirectional carbon under clear.
One of the very cool things about this frameset is the TCC, or Tuned Compliance Concept. The idea is to give the frame maximum stiffness where it counts, but also build in maximum vertical compliance for comfort. This seems to be an impossible compromise, but the solution used here really works..! The visual part of the TCC is the areas with 1K weave carbon, but there is a lot more to it.
The TCC is in the seatpost, the fork and the seatstays...
Beefy front end, and TCC...
