Minion Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Out of interest why is the front wheel spoke configuration different to the rear? I thought the rear would have had the spokes more evenly distributed for the weight?Here's the marketing reason:http://www.campagnolo.com/jsp/en/tech/id_1.jsp That's a really pretty bike. I like how the colour schemes on the frame, group and wheels all work together.
Zula Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Seriuosly. Very very cool. Ride safely and enjoy it
AndreZA Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 You're gonna get nicked by the UCI. That saddle is not level. Imagine someone brings that up at a league race. Wonder if they will take action.
eyecandy Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 So.....whats your new name gonna b? Sexy bike btw , makes me wanna become a roadie
TNT1 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 makes me wanna become a roadie That's a good move.
Bike Mob Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 You're gonna get nicked by the UCI. That saddle is not level. I cannot run my S-Works Toupe on this yet... the parts neededwill be out in a month or two. I didnt tighten the saddle with enought torque and it slipped down a bit on my ride the morning. Noted... and will proceed with the spirit level I normally comply with. As long as the saddle gets the UCI to overlook it's ridiculously low weight I'll happily make it level.
Bike Mob Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Nice one neville! more reason to dish out pain @ killarney.... This is perfect for Killarney! I cant wait to test it out. I need to fit my powermeter to it to see if the wattage claims are real enough, but I couldn't bring myself to doing that for it's maiden Voyage. The unsightly paddle just would have ruined it. Now if someone would kindly buy the 695 I could get a pretty powermeter
Gravity Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 dude that bike is so hot you need asbestos bibs

jatho Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I'm not a Specialized fan but that's pretty cool!
Bike Mob Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Coming from a Cannondale fan I'll accept! As a disclaimer: the saddle will change to White S-Works Toupe, and the stem spacer stack will be sorted out once I get the right height and stem length. Stem will be 10mm longer. Wait till you see this with the 303's on it.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Damn. I don't normally like the look of road bikes, but I have to say that this machine is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. I laaaaaaik!
