Bike Mob Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Picked up the frame Friday afternoon, built and test ridden. Saturday Morning official test ride! Stunner!
Bike Mob Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 Was raining on Sunday so the pic isn't too clear... but the sun on the carbon is awesome!
splat Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Is this what you are selling your Anthem frame for? Very nice looking machine, by the way!splat2009-04-20 04:58:38
MoreTrails Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Looks fast, nice colour co-ord. where's a good source for the colour coded cable outers? are other colours available....
Bike Mob Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks guys, This is why I'm selling the Anthem! I got the Alligator red Cable from Epic Bike Shop. they also had Gold, Silver, Merida Lime Green, Blue and they come in white too.
MoreTrails Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Nice one - shot. Maybe red makes you faster - think 80's Flash Gorden
Weight Weenie Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Nice, Keep pimping with the red parts from KCNC and she'll be a stunner! Glad too see some others riding carbon mtb's, as most on the forum seem adverse to the idea. Suurdruiwe man !
AndreZA Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Nice' date=' Keep pimping with the red parts from KCNC and she'll be a stunner! [/quote'] I don't like the red cables. Red BB, grip ends, seat collar, rotor insides and derailleur pulleys should all be red. The rest remain black. Maybe and this a big maybe, the crank blade bolts.
Bike Mob Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 I still have to weigh it, my anthem was 12.5 built and these are the same parts bar the frame and seatpost. should be just over a kilo less. I plan to lighten up the wheels with some ZTR rims and I'll put on some KCNC skewers, an easy saving of 350g That should put it at 10.9kg, a quick tire change at the rear will drop it to 10.74kg Schwinn Moab SC2 FrameIt's Full XT Shadow specFox F100RL on the frontDTswiss 370 hubs x117 rimsAlligator rotorsEaston EC90 Seat PostKCNC Fly Ride Stem 80mmOxygen Flat Bar (ally)Fizik Arione Carbon SaddleMonorail front UST (Converted Rims)Crossmark Rear I would put red KCNC jockey wheels and stuff on it, but my previous bike was blue and I have some in blue on there now, when they are worn I will match them. The red cables stand out, maybe too much but I cant buy all the bling parts now and I had to buy cables to build it... so That's how we ended up. I think I will get some Foam grips to save some more weight, and they offer more damping too, but they dont come in red. Tarmac-GSTR2009-04-21 02:05:07
