Yang Posted January 29, 2009 Share These are my old wheels from my training bike- a Campag Ambrosio up front, and a no name brand type at the back. I'm putting on the Eurus this weekend, and will be on the lookout for deepsections on the Hub over the next few months- let the wallet settle down a bit for now.

FrancoisO Posted January 29, 2009 Share Looks nice, saw the bikes at the 94.7. Good price.What is the weight of the bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Posted January 29, 2009 Share Francois- that's where I saw the bikes as well- With the old training wheels it comes in at 8.4kg's. Its specced with Chorus 11, would have saved a couple 100g's with Record. I'll check the weight once I've fitted the Eurus this weekend in Durban. I'm using the Shimano SPD's- small and light pedals which have worked for me for years. The carbon frame could have been lighter but it would have then lost some of its robustness- makes me feel confident. I've also slashed off 3 kg's off my own frame over the last 2 months- down to my fighting weight, so I more than compensate for a bike that weighs just over 8.

javadude Posted January 29, 2009 Share Very nice! Whats your opinion of the 11 speed, i heard the shifting is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Posted January 29, 2009 Share @Velo- so far the shifting has been effortless and smooth, with only one or two graunches, which I attribute to my hastiness when I got on it for the first time, and maybe because it it needs to wear in over a good ride. I haven't taken the bike out in anger- almost impossible on our flat roads out here- will be training in Durban on weekend to push it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Posted January 29, 2009 Share A view of the integrated handlebar and stem, with the Chorus levers. Also check the internal cable routing. Yang2009-01-29 02:16:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
