cyclemania Posted October 31, 2006 Share Spinnekop.... the Cosmics is out. The Zipps give it the edge and just complete the mean looking machine. Is that FSA compacted cranks? If so..... Since when do you have a hard time on the hills? <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Congrats with an awesome looking bike.

_Daemon_ Posted October 31, 2006 Share Some more information about these wheels : http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech.php?id=tech/2004/reviews/lightweight"When it comes to deep rimmed carbon wheels, a few popular brands spring to mind, such as Zipp, HED and Campagnolo. But a close inspection of the pro peloton will show another very popular carbon wheel that hasn't had the recognition that it has perhaps deserved, due to contractual obligations with sponsors. The somewhat covertly named Lightweight wheels, now owned by German company CarbonSports GmbH, have been ridden by the world's top cyclists, triathletes and duathletes for over 10 years, and in recent times Lightweights have begun to penetrate the amateur market as well." http://www.roadcycling.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/4/909"It?shard to believe the thought of professionals still buying their ownequipment, but when it comes down to having the best, evenprofessionals dish out the dough. While hitting the rounds at Interbike(see Interbike Coverage Parts 1-7), we had the opportunity to sit downand talk to Stefan Behrens of CarbonSports GmbH, the makers ofLightweight Wheels. Lightweight Wheels have been ridden by the world'stop cyclists, triathletes and duathletes for over 10 years, but moststill don?t know the Lightweight name." Here's a better photo of these amazing wheels! http://www.schmolke-carbon.de/carbon/images/obermayer.jpg_Daemon_2006-10-31 23:47:43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted November 1, 2006 Share Spidy, ek het jou bike se sussie by Westdene gesien die naweek. Die swarte met die alu wat wys. Dit het Cannondale carbon brake arches op gehad. Nie so mooi soos die rooie nie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man with no name Posted November 1, 2006 Share Spidey, very very nice Nige... Crux mentioned (completely off the cuff) that I can order one as well since he will be putting in an order soon. My problem is my Mrs agrees! Was hoping to use the resistance as a sanity pill. I know lightning never strikes twice, so I have to ask...... what would the Queen(ie) do?

Man with no name Posted November 1, 2006 Share OK.... but the Queen(ie) I refer to is actually the one Crux is so kindly disposed to. I mean, she is afterall the national champ, so her opinion has to count for something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
