nice mate, loving the fluoro

Nice frame! Not get excited about the wheels and the saddle on this frame.
Why such a short stem?

yes, i bought the saddle on a whim just to see. have a prologo saddle also, but looking at other options.

wheels... i use those as my 'do everything' wheels. also looking for something else.

the stem is a 95, but looks a lot shorter because it's so bulky/thick.

overall... a work in progress.

Really? Looks no longer than the Edge 500 out front, which is only 70mm long.

[TrekUk]

why the hell is it so heavy? those components are light, that frame must be made of lead.

[kgt]

The frame at this size should be around 1050gr. Ultegra is heavy, wheels are heavy too!

[shinobiph]

Hence the upgrade to red.

I like the hed for everyday wheels. have been looking at some other wheels as well - enve, mavic, etc.

any recommendation(s)? preferably no more than $2,000 (i'm about 85kg)

Thx.

[shinobiph]

Should I go 'old' sram shifters yellow edition or regular 2013 sram?

[Imaking20]

Neither will match so go with the better performer - 2013!

Or strip the graphics from either.

Really? It looks significantly shorter than my 100mm Enve - and they don't claim to make a 95. Sure it's not a 75?

Anyway, it'll look sweet when the crank goes on and Centos really do ride phenomenally well.

[shinobiph]

sorry. it's a 90.

was out on early AM ride before work this morning. love the ride more and more.

as i'm upgrading the cranks, torn whether to go to mid-compact (praxis) rings. i just replaced the cassette to an 11-25 and wonder how the gearing would work out. don't want to buy another cassette.

[Imaking20]

I'd rather change around cassettes than be undergeared via crank.


I put Praxis mid-compact rings on my Smoothie and regret it on all but the ~15-20% grades when I'm trying to keep HR down.

[Cni2i]

Great base to work from. Congrats!

[shinobiph]

after being pretty set on sram red, i went for super record today. (might as well keep it italian

beautiful overall and very pleased.



and so my work in progress continues....
