Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Happy to hear you are building up the Ruegamer. Even if your frame is not one of the lighter ones it is still a great frame. When I met Rue four and a half years ago at the Hand Built Bike Show in San Jose, Ca., I was impressed with Rue's work and very friendly and personal interest in his customers. I was there to pick up my frame but spent most of the day helping in Rue's booth. I got a good look and feel for Rue's excellent work and materials in the frame. I'm sure you will enjoy yours.

Yah, after I got over the weight, I sat down and really looked over the frame and was impressed with it. We'll see how it builds up and rides
Also the Ruegamer frame is only say 250gms heavier than you were hoping. 250gms really isn't a lot in even in an uber lightweight build. It can still be built up to a very light rig indeed. It is a rare and beautifully made frame that I am sure will have a superb ride.
Good luck with it.
Good luck with it.

Yup I know. I came to my senses. I'm not going for a total weenie build. I'm saving that for my other project.

NOTHING!!! I sold my Time Ulteam a few days ago, so I am without a bike until this one is built up.

Good things come to those who wait! Your future build will be the dogs bollocks! Enjoy the time off.
Finally some logic prevails! Hopefully it rides really well. Make it classy and understated.
What about a Stork 0.7?

I have something really special in the works in addition to the Ruegamer. I think it'll be something new and really pushing the envelope. Beyond that, my lips are sealed.

Even though I'm not going for an ultra weight weenie I had some free time last night so I started razoring some of my carbon bits, mainly so they would match the finish (or lack thereof) of the frame.

Just wondering if the razor treatment is easier than that carbo lift product? Do you have any experience with that?
I have a frame and fork I want to remove paint and clear coat from. The razor blade seems like it would take a long time.
Edit..
Just used the search and found what I was looking for
