Now I Just Need A Frame...

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 :blink: )

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 :blink:

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.
