Lovely - v. jealous.

 

I didn't realise SRAM shifters worked with a Shimano RD - you live & learn thumbup1.gif

 

 

Erm - they don't... RD is mmost definitely SRAM on both builds... SRAM X0 Type 2 Black / Silver depending on the bike...

WOW! don't think its possible to spec a bike better.....

 

and probably still costs less than some road bikes.......still cant understand that?

 

True, both my mate and I paid less for these frames than you would a top end Specialized road frame like the Tarmac S-Works.

I bought my frame local and my mate got his in the States while still on honeymoon.

I knew the guys would appreciate some good porn to start off the weekend!

The wheels are still to come. The one Wheelset is on its way from Johan Borman (Yellow Saddle).

Nice. I'm building / tensioning my own wheelset this weekend. I reckon it's a lekker skill to have, and it's one I'd like to learn. And there are tutorials all over the web, and I have all the necessary tools (including a ruler & sticky tape for the vertical / horizontal trueing & dishing!)

Cool man I seen your thread, the white spank rims and Green Sstar hubs... I rebuilt a I9 Wheel once. It came with Flow Rims (2nd hand). I rebuilt it with Arches for a lighter rim which better suited to my riding. Problem is it took me a while and I still do not have the confidence to do it all on my own from scratch again. So I got who I believe is one of the best in the wheel building business to do it for me.

Johan used to do wheel building classes. I would have loved to attend one of his classes but I do not think there is enough interest to make it worth his while to come to CT. I am sure someone like Johan could pass on some invaluable knowledge one can only gain from experience.

 

Good luck with the rest of your Wheel Build! thumbup1.gif thumbup1.gif thumbup1.gif thumbup1.gif thumbup1.gif

Cool Heat used to bring them in but someone else does now.

I got mine a while back from CRC and my friend just got his in US.

I saw the exact stand at bridge Cycles yesterday for R3000.00 (Force Feedback Pro Elite)
