My (first) project

[wonduhboy]

I had to share some pics of my project.

First time I am building a bike piece-by-piece and doing all the work myself...

 

the frame...

 

and another angle

 

 

what I am fitting it with:

 

 

and rolling on:

 

 

first part of the build:

 

 

Last night, I did the crankset as well, but cellphone pic doesn't do the sexiness justice:

 

 

I'll post some more pics as I go

Looks very good so far.Keep the pics coming.

Ridiculously good looking.

The black and white of the frame and g/set makes it look awesome.

[wonduhboy]

Yip, the groupset is fantastically good looking, and in person they are even better. They've used CF for the most part, but it doesn't have the "layered" look to it.

Great choice of wheels! I'm VERY happy with mine!

some more pics:

Almost everything on:

 

 

and finally, the finished project:

 

 

and more angles

 

 

 

[Joseba Beloki]

Very nice. You should check the angle on the bars. They seem a bit low.

[Ryan]

They do yes.

 

Rule of thumb... that 'flat' bit should be parallel to the ground.

 

Personal preference I guess.

hey nice one wunduhboy!  like the understated but fast and edgy racing look.  and what a pleasure it must be rolling out on a machine assembled by your own hands - from the first nut to the last bolt.

 

well done!

[wonduhboy]

Thanks for all the comments.

 

I also thought they looked a bit funny, but they flat tops are parallel to the ground. I think the shifters give them a downward look, because they cant move up the bars too much more (downside of flat-tops)

 

I cannot express enough how rewarding it is buying a bike piece-by-piece and building it yourself. I've learnt so much, and although I'm sure things will need adjusting, I dont this it's too bad.

Beautiful, but the bars do spoil it a bit. I would try and get them more parallel to the ground.

okay, okay. I'll fiddle with the bars when I get home.

And mrs-wonduhboy-to-be says the tape looks messy, so I'll rope her into fixing that as well
