rupintart Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Taking a break from some hw, I decided to tinker in the bike room and start assembling some stuff. Ignore the rape matress: Build list: Try-All Carbon Bars Try-All 150x30 mod stem ESI grips Crank Bros Iodine C All-mountain headset Middleburn RS7 cranks Reset Ti bb TNN Alloy bash/sprocket Blackspire Sub 3 pedals (265g actual weight ) TNN Integrated booster/clamp system Rockman Spade fork HS33 F&R brakes Coust Pads Rockman front rim laced to Rockman hub Chris King Classic rear hub Der Kaiser rear tire Race King front tire Ceramic bearings swapped into BB and front hub Ti bolts throughout I'm waiting on some parts to arrive: Ti bolt skewers, Neon rear rim, Sapim Cx Ray spokes, ti crank bolts. I'm stoked. Based on all of the above, my rig should come in right under 19lbs so long as my frame is less than 5 lbs. Realistically, I should be at mid 18 and pretty damn solid. Not really any sketch parts, so I'm pretty confident it'll last a bit. I'm itching for a try-all carbon fork....just don't know if I like the way it looks on frames other than the sky. The crown looks awkward on other bikes as the lines don't flow well going into the fork IMO. But, it's almost a whole pound off the bike Just waiting on my RCP Reynolds proto frame to show up. Talked to him today, he's moving locations so things have been a bit backed up as a result (as well as that storm in New England a couple weeks back.) Should be done with my frame in two weeks. Here's to hoping. I'm really excited as the rest of the parts show up mid next week. I'll build the rear wheel than all it really is waiting for is the frame.
