Frame/fork: Kelly Luscious X Trutemper S3 / Kelly 29er Disc
Headset: King Dreadset Stem: Ritchey Pro Road Bars: Ritchey Biomax 42cm Seatpost: Thompson Elite Saddle: Flite Ti BB: Dura-Ace Cranks: Dura Ace Triple 7703 Rear Wheel: King ISO Disc / Mavic Open Pro / 36 x 15 g straight 3 cross / Brass Nipples Front Wheel: King ISO Disc / Mavic Open Pro / 32 x 15 g straight 3 cross / Brass Nipples Brakes: Avid BB7 Road Disc Shifters: Dura-Ace 7703 Rear Der: Dura-Ace 7800 Front Der: Dura-Ace 7703 Pedals: Shimano 959 Cassette: Dura-Ace 9 speed Tires: Michelin Jet S Built by Bobcat Bicycles, Salinas, CA 22.6 lbs with pedals It was really a crap shoot when I was searching for a quality steel frame, but I got lucky as it seems Chris Kelly knows a thing or two about building bikes. The bike rides so well I thought the tires were low, even though I had checked them just minutes earlier. I don't know how he did it, but the feel of the bike is truly unique, as if there really was a suspension hidden in there somewhere. Cracks and sharp edges pass by with a muted thump reminiscent of a BMW with new shocks, the same imperfections that knock my hands off the bars on my steel frame no-suspension mtb with fatty slicks. Yet when I put the power down, the bike responds well and has handling to match. Truly amazing, and perfect for the 'city beater' role the bike will play. I'm no expert, but production frames I've ridden can't even come close the experience this bike offers. steel is real |

just got this off ebay...rock lobster alum team bike. rides great! but the saddle does not interface well with my rear-end. it has record hubs with tubular rims, very nice but I'm thinking of swaping them onto one of my road bikes. also working on putting some riv-nuts since the team bikes were not built with waterbottle mounts. :)

on my list to replace: saddle (i like brooks), maybe the bars, i still haven't decided, and pedals, also not sure though i'm leaning towards getting some crank brothers mallets. i also just ordered some IRO hubs, gonna probably just relace the stock wheels/tires to them so i can have a flip/flop in the rear, i miss riding fixed. if i feel like spending money, a chris king headset is probably in the near future. |
