The Fling: A #metoo Izalco Max

[jbaillie]

They used Ryan's bike, via photo taken by Ryan, with NO credit? SHAAAAME

Also, VTR1000SP2 how'd you know the new Izalco Max was dropping today? Looks pretty dope...

Ah, didn't see that they finally posted my Litespeed. Sent those pictures like 2 months ago. I think they asked for my Instagram handle and I don't have one (til today) so...

Two of my neighbors have similar walls (right next door to each other) so it's actually two walls (I think there's a Trump joke in there somewhere). But ya, white background makes it an easy place to snap evenly lit photos. The Litespeed was done with my Sony A7s though and the Focus was just camera phone.

These bars (the Ernovas) visually offend my eyes, so we'll see if I keep them on the bike. I have a set of baby Specialized S-Works bars that I may try (35cm at the hoods! And 171g).

Focus’ Instagram feed announced the new arrival a few days ago with some teaser info like the weird geometry and 90seconds faster over 50km @200W.

Frame weight went up over previous Izalco Disc but the stem and seatpost weights are down right offensive.

So what’s the overall weight of your build?

Had to make the bike a little more German today:



5.45kg as shown, 5.7ish with Boras.

Love it and that weight!

It's the 3T Ernova Team Stealth. It seems to be a quite stiff bar, noticeably stiffer than the Specialized bars I've been using. Routing was a royal pita though. Even with a vacuum and string, trying to get the string to where the bar end is took about 15 minutes. I had some cable drag too but resolved that by carefully rewrapping the bars.

Your builds never dissappoint

thanks for the info. i asked because i just replaced a fsa kforce with a 3t superergo (for more reach), which ought to be the sucessor of the ergonova (shape is indeed as good as identical). routing was luckily quite easy, because the bar came with liners.

The ensemble and lines are superb !!

I agree, I like the lines on this frame. I don’t see any port on the drive side downtube in the event you wanted to run a mechanical drivetrain. Is this an electric only frame?
