Zurichster

Lemond Zurich - this is my crit bike, race bike, rain bike. This is an older pic, I now run SRAM Rival on this bike along with white bar tape and a white saddle.

Derosa Avant with SRAM Force and K-Force crank, I also use Dura Ace brakes instead of the Force ones. I hate the AC 420's and have replaced 5 spokes in the rear over the last year. They flex like crazy if you try to sprint or jump out o the saddle.

I just got my MASI back. I has some major upgrades made, like Dura Ace 7900, New fork, Stem, Bars and saddle. Basically a new bike.Build weight of 16lbs,[IMG][/IMG]

I currently ride a Lemond Zurich and am in the process of building a brand new Landshark with Dura Ace.
The bike is tagged as a Trojanshark

Awesome! If you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay for the DA group? What were you upgrading from? And do you think it was worth it?

Yellowgiant

I upgraded from DA 7700 the old 9-speed. I have put 20kms on the 7900 so far, since with the cold weather we are having it is hard to get over a half hour in at a time. But from what I have felt so far it is worth it. The hoods are longer and have a really nice feel to them. The shifts are precise and smooth. So far I am loving it and worth it.

I actually did some work for a bike shop and they did a trade deal so in terms of cost, I have no idea.

Beautiful bike and well setup, love the rounded bars!

Nice bike, whether you post a pic or not, I think you'll do just fine. Unless the bike is very poorly matched in size to you; seat, seat post, stem, bar adjustments are sufficient for fitting a bike, especially a <$1000 bike. I only say this since, say if you were buying a $4000+ bike for example, then perhaps a professional fit first on a Serotta machine would be a must along with a try out period. It is true though that this stuff gets expensive (from a owner of 9 bikes ). Performance Bike will take good care of you though - fitting, gear/brake tuneup etc, and they must have given you a 30day trial?

My 08 Cannondale six 13, new seat post comming this week, not to mention new frame as this one has a crack in it.

I ride a Trek 1000 WSD, a 2005 model. She's a beauty

subframe

Nice!

What stem is that?

Yellowgiant

2009 FSA OS-115 White Stem, White is new for 2009. Titanium with a carbon face plate. Matches the FSA compact bars also in white. The challenge is finding the right colour bar tape to show off the white stuff. I went with black for now.

subframe

Ah, thanks. Looks good. Hmmmm, do I want white bars and stem???

Yellowgiant

I was actually going for a look which included a white fork. The shop I bought this one from had white custom painted from easton but they sold out and I had to go with the black. I was going with black in the back and White up front.

Cheidle1

Yeah, I got the 30 days.

I already knew the size I needed, I have been looking for quite some time, going in, and working with/annoying the reps there. The fitting went really well, I never knew how much went into it.

davehiscock

i have a 2008 merida 880-24,

not a bad budget bike, really pleased with it, and had a good review in cycling+

still dont use it as much, but have recently brought rollers to carry on training in the bad weather..

bw286

kind of a road bike, just not paved roads...

redtires

Holy seat post batman....and.....that cinder block garage door sure looks like it would be heavy

Flatballer

If you wanna see seatpost, check out my teammate.



The one in front. His bike looks ridiculous sitting by itself, it's hard to believe anyone can ride it. I don't have a pic of just the bike though. His saddle-bar drop is something like 6.5", I measured it once.

bw286

you can take a good 2 inches, maybe 3 off of the seatpost b/c of the sloping top tube.

Velomancer

Just built a new bike.... posting it in every thread that's relevant.

Geoff326

wow, how tall is he and wat size is that frame? it looks like that frame is way too small for him.

TMonk

sweet.

what frame?

10 speed?

Red Rider

That's what I thought, too. Why wouldn't he get a bigger frame?

Flatballer

I think he's about 6' 3" and he rides a 56 I think. His torso is too short to ride anything longer, and he's flexible enough to deal with the saddle-bar drop. He's all legs, which makes fitting kinda difficult.
