Congrats for a nice bike. Nothing will slow you more than an uncomfortable saddle, I would not care at all for a few grams in that aspect. The challenge PR tires are great but they are much bigger than advertised: 29 to 31c, depending on the inner width of the rim. Keep it in mind in case you have tight clearance. Veloflex however are much more true to size.ToffieBoi wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 11:03 amThanks for the nice comments. This is my first titanium bike and I really like the ride. Maybe in a year or two I would go for a second carbon bike but for now, everything feels great here.
I'm slowly dialing the position, now I have only 5mm spacer under the stem (was 15 on the first photo). I guess that will be the final version. New, Ponza saddle also fit me well for short rides. It is a heavy saddle and I guess I'll be changing it soon, but bike now weights 8020 grams. Gained a lot with saddle and lost some from the spacers and steerer tube. Specialized Roubaix Pro tires will be the first change, I need to decide between 28mm Vittoria Corsa, Rubino or even maybe 28mm Veloflex Corsa. 27mm Challenge Paris Roubaix...
Meanwhile, I realised I made a mistake on the first post. Headtube dimensions are 47-49mm, not 41-42 like I wrote before (47 all along and 49 on the top and bottom). I edited the post and wanted to update it here. I measured chainstays and seatstays too: 22mm and 16mm.
Enjoy the bike! I am really tempted now to get a frame from Soulrider...
