This is amazing. You've reached another level (or two) with the recent upgrades.

Dear lord that looks amazing. Seems incredibly aero

[Juggler]

Very slick and stealthy...

But isn't the cable work quite a hassle? I have heard some complaints about the internal cable routing...

[BmanX]

The only issue with the cabling is when it exits the bottom bracket but there is a trick to this and the fact that I did the behind the stem internal routing myself made it easier than the newer S-series when cabling. Not really any hassles.

[Juggler]

It must be the newer version I have heard about... the guy I talked with had big issues with his RD.

[BmanX]

very easy to do it on my own but yes I have heard stories of it being difficult. really the hole at the BB is damn small but I sorted it out.

That seals it. I give up on sub 13lbs. The brakes clean up the frontal area of the bike a ton. It sucks I'll have to buy two. I would rather use my lighter C7 brake, but it just didn't feel right with the two different brakes. The modulation feel of the two, were way different. I don't think the aero of the rear is even that big of a factor, but having similar modulation fr and rr is. My does that ever look fast as hell. With my Zipp bars it will be even more awesome. You need to buy a set you know.,,,,

[BmanX]

I have almost bought them 3 times now but cannot pull the pin because I want to be able to use clip ons when I do some longer rides and if I race again. That is the only thing stopping me. Rob and I have talked about a custom stem with internal run cabling for the Omega which would clean up the front end even more. One day I will just say hell with it and buy something aero for the bars but I still think someone could design something better and more integrated then 3T's attemp. Not very aero in my opinion.

[ProfessorChaos]

I'm not going to tell you how to live your life, but this is what needs to happen here. I need your brakes, you need my bars, and then we both need to build TT rigs. You know I am right.

[BmanX]

I have a build on the trainer totally done up as a tt build but using an older TCR frame. I can get in a great position on this bike and it has an Omega on the front with an EE on the back so I technically have a TT bike to ride BUT it will never be as aero as the SLC.

I've been thinking long and hard about building one. Since taking to running, I know what that can lead to next. I've really just always wanted one anyway. I am thinking Speed Concept or some sort of P series.

[BmanX]

P series and just do what I did tot he SLC. Only difference I would suggest is getting a Devox for the front end and running Sram shifter and levers.

[BmanX]

Well it seems like someone has been listening to what I am saying but it looks like it is going to cost me north of $1000 to own them.

[Cheers!]

Could you post some pics on how you exited the shifter cables out of the bottom bracket?

[BmanX]

They exit the standard way through the hole under the BB.
