One slight glitch

Well, you can look at it in one of two ways, it a minor glitch or I have the world's lightest bike. I don't think it is the later unfortunately. Thorben called to give me the bad news regarding the scale he borrowed; he broke it. So I can't get a weight on the final (actually semi-final) build.

Also, I am waiting to get back the wheel which Chris is gluing on a tubular to before trying to get a weight. This will be a weight using the Reynolds DV32UL tubular wheels.

So, I am still a few days off from doing the first test ride. But at least the frame is out of the box!

John McGregor,

That question is usually ignored because it's rude and ignorant.

Is it possible that some of those "FAT" people could be the one's that built or designed your bike and are test riding them?

Temptations to the FREDS

I have one question which usually goes ignored:

Why do you entice the market with bikes that are so brilliantly built and engineered and then only have them ridden by FAT people dressed in replica Garmin-Cervelo or Cervelo TestTeam (or CSC!!) kits?

YOu might not have seen a previous comment of his, which reads: " Now the only component I still have to figure out are the wheels. Need to find some wheels that are lighter than the current tubulars I have which I got back in 2008, the Reynolds 32 UL T. They came in at just under 1000 g without the cassette. Reynolds does have their new Rzr 46 which are around 900 g. Leightweight also make some nice wheels which are sub 1000 g. I guess it may come down to availability."
