Anders CAAD10 for the 2013 season (Di2 installation)

[Anders]

Build is slowly progressing. Weight of the front wheel is 640g.

[Dimitri]

love this build so far!

[Anders]

Thanks. Here is the not fully completed front wheel on the bike, just for the looks of it.

[Helmutti]

Boss!

Wheels look great. Love the ghost spokes

[Anders]

Wheels are finally laced up and mounted. I bought a Park Tool TM-1 tensiometer which is extremely helpfull in obtaining an even spoke tension. I will recommend this even to just check your wheels once in a while and it's great value. The wheelset came in at 1430g with Schwalbe high pressure rim strips. I'm waiting for some Reynolds Fourty Six decals which I think will look great.
Total bike weight is now 6.64 kg. Still wondering if a SRAM Exogram crankset would be nicer, maybe with the MKV chainrings. I'll take some better day light pictures in the weekend.



I have been looking for a matte seatpost to replace my 99g New Ultimate. As an experiment I wet sanded it with corn 1000. It looks completely like matte clear coat and I would recommend this method if you want to keep your decals.

[Dimitri]

great weight with deep clinchers!

let us all know what you think of the CAAD10 compared to your old frame

[Anders]

Got the decals applied. I think it really completes the bike.

[Rumsas]

Good job

[NWSAlpine]

Looks great. What saddle is that?

[savechief]

The saddle is a Selle Italia SLR Teknologika Flow. Here's mine:

[Bianchi10]

How comfy is that saddle? Always loved the looks but don't know if my butt could do it cuz I need a 143mm and if I'm not mistaken it only comes in 131.

Nicely executed! well done..

[Phill P]

Do you know who made those hubs for Specialized?
What size bearings do they use front and rear?
What was the weight of the front hub?

[nathanong87]

is that fur on the saddle like the fur on your chair?
