It's as quick as it looks too. Sizes from 48cm to 58cm in 2cm increments. My 56cm is available for test rides.

I've got an old Dura Ace 9 speed crank with 10 speed blades. Everything else is Ultegra 10 speed or 105 10 Speed except the cluster and shifters which are DA 10 speed. Going SRAM soon though... Kiwi2008-08-26 07:57:53

I was so exited when it arrived it forgot to weigh it! I hope to strip it down in the next week or so and will weigh it. Collin Day, the big cheese at Technique will be sending all the data to me soon, very nice guy.  Kiwi2008-08-26 08:06:48

Nice bike Tarmac. What size is the frame and do you find the head tube a little short?

Thanks Shortlegs, and Wisecrack.!

 

It's a 54cm. I'm 1.78m tall I find it fits me well. I had the standard bars on there at 110cm stem and felt perfect, but have changed up to a 100cm Barmac. It felt a bit low, with the head tube fairly short. I dropped my saddle height a little to accomodate and actually get nearer my recomended saddle height. I like it higher ,setup tells me to lower it...so I'm getting there slowly.

 

Absolutely love this bike, it snaps forward at any input and steers like nervous race horse...but never steps out of line.

 

I have so far blinged it with the AM classic 420's, Barmac Wedge and complete Probolt Ti/Ally bolt kit in anodised Blue. Coming soon: New Shift housing, Blue Fizik bar tape, Lightweight Tubes and Schwalbe Ultremo's for racing on.

 

It weighs 8kg on the dot with pedals and all.

 

All I want in future is Dura Ace and It's done.
