My new ride

[Contaminated Haggis]

Check out my new ride, one week old today .

 

[Speedi]

Damn thats nice! I like the brake calipers. And the DA crank of course!

[XTC OKE]

is that a DA crank with ultegra blades??weight??

[Contaminated Haggis]

Thanks Speedi, the frame is about 150g heavier than the Scott but the straight fork is a bit lighter than the bladed fork.

 

XTC, its full DA. The bike weighs in at 6.95kg's with my Ascent II's. I train with Ksyrium Elites so im about another 500g heavier unless its race day.

Thanks Speedi' date=' the frame is about 150g heavier than the Scott but the straight fork is a bit lighter than the bladed fork.

Ok nice, yeah that Scott fork is not that light... Thats why i decided to put the Deda one on instead.

[Contaminated Haggis]

I insured it with Cyclesure yesterday, crazy not to have insurance on a bike nowdays if you ask me .. ouch!!

[Contaminated Haggis]

I remember you saying the Deda fork was light - it looks good on your new Scott.

Dougaroony, flip that's nice...

Nice handlebars!!! You should get one of those ITM mounts for your polar (where it sits in the middle ahead of your stem), so everyone can see the EC90 sticker...

 

Can't make out the seatpost - Is it an EC90?

[slowpoke]

dougarooney - you shoulda warned us that this was pronographic... i've just about shorted my keyboard! that is one gorgeous steed.... may you have many happy and safe (s)miles together

Nice Bike!!! Just be carefull with that Seatpost..Easton EC90SLX.. I had the same one on my BMC but after a while the seat clamp wears out and your saddle just slips all over the place. Easton replaced mine tho..

[Contaminated Haggis]

Thanks for the raves guys .

 

Sure Markslc01, I dont wanna do my nads and backside a disservice if the clamp wears and my seat suddenly points north and I go sliding off the back onto my back tire. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervy but the bike store didnt have the new 2 bolt ones in stock. Im sure Easton will make good on the warranty though (and skin grows back )
