levett Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Here is my latest creation It's running Ultegra Triple, with an 11-27 rear and came in at 7.14kg (complete - everythnig except pedals)This is (I think) the same frame as Apricot Jam is selling - fantastic quality - 1,100g for the frame, and 300g+ for the un-cut forkLight weight was not the priority (it is a triple afterall!), but I'm quite pleased with the weight - especially since the Shimano 10-speed flat-bar controls (trigger shifters and brakes) are Heavy - I think it would be lighter with road bars! And, if Shimano go 10-Speed MTB, I think those shifters would be much lighterNo Name Carbon FramePro Lite BarsPlanet-X (Kiwi) StemBontrager Race-Lite WheelsMichelin Pro Race 3 TyresHope Bottom BracketUltegra 6700 52-39-30 CrankUltegra 6700 GS Rear DerailleurKCNC Seat PostPlanet-X SaddleShimano 'Special' Flat Bar Front DerailleurShimano 10-Speed Flat Bar Trigger ShiftersShimano Flat Bar Brake LeversPlanet-X Brakes And that's about it!levett2010-03-23 11:09:44
timbrink Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I think it is meant to be leaning up against a couch, not a coach.
keith Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Slap some road bars on it and a double crank and you got one light stead! Way cheaper (and probably lighter) then many branded bikes out there.keith2010-03-24 01:30:42
AndreZA Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 nice bike but WTH is that thing in the back ground? Do you take you own porta-potty to races?
ThRoTTLeS-WP Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 lol, he probably camps overnight then he doesn't sit in traffic going to the race.. Great idea..
Giant Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Bike is a beauty,Tim, beaut comment, especially this early
Bos Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 That frame really looks nice. Maybe I might just get one end of this year for the road season.. MTB season is upon us now!Looks very nice though Levet. That is the ugliest Caravan thing Ive ever seen though!
Bat-ass Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 that caravan thingy reminds me of mickey mouse, and goofy cartoons..
Andyr249 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Nice bike!The Top Gear Trio would have a blast with that caravan!!
levett Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 That is the ugliest Caravan thing Ive ever seen though! 'That' caravan is a classicHave a look at:http://www.moorlandleisure.co.uk/tab.htmlandhttp://tab-rv.com/Comes with And a 'full size' awning that is bigger than the caravan - and it only weighs 500kg! My bike is better than the one in the pic though!
