Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Drive train is all DA with a Sram chain and casset.

Wheels are DA hubs laced to Campy Omega Strada Hardox rims with Conti Podiums glued on.

Stem, headset and brakes are DA.

Seat is a Pinarello branded Concor that I got for a dollar.

Thanks and no its not. If you click on one of the pics and scroll though the set you can see it before powder coat, my pc guy couldn't get the light celeste color in so I gave the go ahead on the light blue. I am really happy with how it turned out.

Edit:
Decals are from Cyclomundo. They are awesome and Greg was great to work with.

89 for the frame. Im not sure on the parts, they are a mix. But they are all 7400, the cranks and front der. are 7410 so they are the newest parts. Nothing newer that 96 or 97

Nice whip!
Great build and nice pictures. Now for the real question.

How does she ride?
And if you know, how much does the whip weigh?

Its my first foray in to tubulars and so far I'm impressed. They are 19s which looks pretty skinny, but they ride really nice. I finnished it late yesterday so I havent been able to put any really miles on yet. I have no idea what it weighs, I need a fishing scale.

Nice looking bike! Shame about the non-Campy*, but still, it's nice!






*Confession: My Campione d'Italia has Dura Ace hubs and an Ultegra cassette. Someday I will rectify this, but for now I do my penance on the road.
