My Flyte SRS-3... Porntastic
 
http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/ima...4e3980c4f7.jpg

Here she is... discussed in another forum a while back, finally got a pic posted.

Frame: Flyte SRS-3
Fork: Flyte CR-3 all carbon
Wheels: Easton Vista SL
Cranks: FSA SL-K MegaExo
Derailleurs/Shifters/Brakes: Ultegra 10 Triple
Bars: FSA RD-200
Stem: FSA OS-170
Saddle: Fizik Aliante Carbon
Post: Flyte Titanium
Tires: Michelin Krylion Carbon (for the winter/spring)
Computer: Polar CS200cad

I love it!!! I seriously can't believe the quality of the ride for the price Flyte charges, and the customer service is great. My only gripes are the cheapie bar end caps (getting replaced), the cheapie headset plug (replaced with an FSA Compressor), and the Bontrager tires (flatted within 40 miles), but hey--those are minor issues.

At least you're getting an "X". I don't even see that.

LowCel 03-29-06 11:02 AM

Best looking x I've seen all day. ;)

I love the way the lines meet in the middle. So sexy. And that red color is so appealing.

:-)

He did say porntastic.

baj32161 03-29-06 11:23 AM

Yeah...I guess it is X rated afterall

GuitarWizard 03-29-06 11:34 AM

What Bontrager tires? I have the Race X-Lites that came on my 5200, and they actually work pretty well.....knock on wood.

It would like nicer if it was not invisible. How about a picture of the bike????

Thats a nice shade of red too!

RoadToad 03-29-06 11:43 AM

And you know red goes faster too...

His geocities site has exceeded it's bandwidth allocations. Host it on one of the free picture hosting sites like imageshack so we can all see it Dr.

Nice looking bike DrPete. Looks even better than the X. ;)

My SRS-3 frame arrived, and I switched all the parts from the Mercier Serpens to her. I decided to take it to the LBS, and let them play with the deraileurs. I lack the patience to mess with adjusting them myself. When I called, Chip told me to bring it down, and he would do the dirty work for $20.00. He's always willing to help me out with my project bikes. I get her back tomorrow, I'm off work, and it's supposed to be 67, and sunny. Can't wait to ride her, and I'll be sure to snap up some pic's for you forumites to enjoy.

Doc, the bike looks great. I hope her sister will turn some heads also!

Very nice bike. Ride it in good health. I have an SRS-2. I like the color scheme on the SRS-3 better. I am really wanting one of their defiant Ti bikes. Maybe next year.

Awesome, I am jealous, as I type this I am waiting for the DHL guy to frop off my Flyte SRS-3 frame. I decided to build bike from ground up. I still cant wait to check it out. Congrats on your new Flyte, hope you have thousands of epic miles out of it.

I don't know if a triple and that huge a cassette can ever by "porntastic." Maybe "pornish." That's just me. Definitely more pornish than my ride though.

It's only a 12-25... I'll confess that the granny doesn't see much use, but it's nice to have the bailout on the less-than-100% days.

So maybe it is pornish, but average that with the Aliante Carbon (pornucopia), and you end up with porntastic. :)

Cool man! Welcome to the Flyte club. I just got a srs-2 through our sponsor so I know how nice their bikes are.

EricDJ 03-29-06 11:08 PM

Did one of you beat me to the SRS3 frame that was marked down? Was a great deal

jjmolyet 03-30-06 07:58 AM

Yeah, the Clearance hangar srs-3 for $150, I bought it Saturday.

Since this is the Flyte Club post, here's an SRS-2:

jjmolyet 03-30-06 12:49 PM

Hey Master Cylinder what is this, the Metro Detroit Cycling Club (a team from Michigan) is riding a bike from the Buckeye State? :) Just Kiddin' your SRS-2 looks awesome!!!! Love those wheels.

bikindan 03-31-06 09:39 PM

I am jealous. My SRS2 is out of stock until the end of April. Bummer.
