Christie Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 I've been collecting parts since October last year, got the last spares last month. It looks like a lot of other P3C's except for some bling bits here and there. I'm still messing around with the position before cutting the bar extensions - they are not UCI legal yet, and the saddle also has to move back. (I borrowed Psycho's disk for the photo's)
gummibear Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Looks very nice and they ride very nice.So have you booked a day at the CSRI wind tunnel yet.
bob_the_builder Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Nice bike. How much in total did it set you back, and how many TT's a year do you ride to justify the cost?
Coachbez Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Its nice but when biuild up my zipp frame and I have those bars and cranks on then you will have to move back into second place. Good job the bike kicks ass
gummibear Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Those Zipp Vuka bars are very comfy but so expensive.i
Christie Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 Nice bike. How much in total did it set you back' date=' and how many TT's a year do you ride to justify the cost? [/quote'] I spent about R26k as is. That excludes the front wheel, which is my normal Reynolds race wheel. I got about R1000 worth of prize money in total last year, so cost is completely unjustified. I've always wanted a TT machine in my collection because they look pretty, and I'm a bit of a bike fanatic . I currently train on the TT bike 2x per week, will ride it more once I can figure out how to mount my lights on the bars! Anybody know where I can get one of these goodies?Christie2008-03-05 03:29:33
Ox_Wagon Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 The S-pecialized cage will definably make it faster.
Christie Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 The S-pecialized cage will definably make it faster. I had some carbon cage in hand, but passed the Specialized rack on the way to the till. When I saw the S cage, I put the carbon one back - very happy with it I've got a Camelbak Aerobak that I'm going to experiment with as well, will see which one is the easiest to use. Currently, the Camelbak has my vote.
Danger Dassie Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 It's a beaut. But whats with the funny handlebars? Wheres the disc brakes and suspension? Why the funny worn tyres with no knobblies? make the lambs stop screaming......
Rakker Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 I spent about R26k as is. O.K., now I also know. All I heard was that he got the Zip cranks at a "good" price. Men and their toys... Rakker2008-03-05 06:29:10
