Willehond Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 Nice frame!Williehood' date=' I use sram force my self and will never go back to shimano.It is noisy and high maitenance but it makes up for it in performance.[/quote'] Thanks Daniel, I feel better about my choice now! Went to the LBS this afternoon and told them to put the Force groupo on. Hopefully will be here by the weekend!
Willehond Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 (stiff' date=' very light, great ride etc.) [/quote'] do you want JB to come here and sort you out? Shall I add that those Zipps feel really fast and responsive?! ...I'm runningdo they have ceramic bearings? Nope, I'm too scared I can't handle the speed and the incredible frictionless advantage they give you! (Read: I'm too cheap for that! Plus in my mind you got to see the bling you pay for)
Reg Lizard Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Willehond: Jissie jong, dis 'n nice bike. Nou nie 'n spesiale fietsie nie, maar nog steeds nice Ek's eintlik baie verlig om te sien dat dit nie 'n BMC is nie, sou nooit die einde van daai een gehoor het nie. Jy moet definitief die fotos post as sy aangetrek is, sy behoort stunning te lyk. Baie geluk ou maat.
Thug Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 That's one of the nicest road bike frames I've seen in a long time ! Hope you have many happy k's.
MoreTrails Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Ag Shame Willie - its still a road bike!!! Just taken the p1ss, looks really cool - for a road bike...hehehe
Matchstix Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Thats the nicest "skopfiets" I've seen in years
Willehond Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 Thanks guys, going to the LBS NOW to pick her up!!! Posting soon...
Willehond Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 OK, I just came back from the maiden voyage/Dutch bikep0rn photo shoot. All I can say is I am in love!!!! I felt like I was floating and the SRAM Force is fantastic. I am converted after one ride. Upshifting three gears, WOW. 6,8kg's without pedals. Strangest thing happened though, I kid you not, a guy flagged me down in the middle of the road to ask me if he can have a closer look at the bike because he wants to get one. FREAKY! I was obviously beaming like a proud father. Also stopped numerous times for some nice bikeprn shots. Tomorrow, long ride! not complete without a gratuotous windmill shot: Canalside shot The hole shot! For the mountainbikers (leaning against a MTB sign!) One for the ramblers: Willehond2009-04-24 12:19:32
wisecrack Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Must admit the missing top cap look would freak me out :-)
gummibear Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Must admit the missing top cap look would freak me out :-) I wonder if the bolt is just lower down or how does that work.
Overlord Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Stunning bike Willehond!!!! I rather like ''missing top cap" look.
Willehond Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 Must admit the missing top cap look would freak me out :-) I wonder if the bolt is just lower down or how does that work. There is no bolt inside I'm freaked now... Looks like it is fastened from the outside on the headset collar. I'm still worried about where the freaking water is going to go (straight to my BB I think. Sht) Anyway, it was designed by Germans, I am sure they have a very good reason for it.
Sammajoor Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 What did you pay for the frame........... It is a very very nice bike, may you have many safe kilos on it / her.
