Lynskey 400mm seatpost Chris King headset and bottom bracket Ritchey carbon fork with stock rake/trail (or very close Lol) Bontrager 90mm stem Bontrager Isocore 95 mm reach handlebar Fizzik bar pads and generic bar tape Shimano Dura Ace 9100 mechanical groupset/chain/cables Dura Ace C24 carbon/aluminum wheels Vittoria Corsa 700x25 tires Selle Italia Boost Superflow endurance saddle I'm waiting on a set of Dura Ace 9100 pedals. I tuned it on the stand. Shifts pretty clean through all the gears. I haven't weighed it or anything and I haven't trimmed tge rear DR cable because I can't find tge cable end. Overall everything went great and I am pleased with the result. I will have to tweak it obviously after a few shakedown rides but its currently about 10 degrees so it may be awhile. |
Bravo !!! Looks great
|
Very nice ! And it won't rust !
|
Good Lord that thing is hideous! As a public service I’ll PM you my address so it can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. :innocent: The fact that it appears to be my size is merely a coincidence.
|
Oooooo!! That looks NICE!!!
|
Nice!
When do you start taking orders? |
Elegant and clean. Understated. Very well done!

That is a great build, I always thought the yellow splash Time fork never did anything for the appearance. Should be a great ride, I had a 1999 a son-in-law now enjoys. When he makes those posts in a larger diameter I am gonna splurge.
|
I have a very similar bike with a Easton EC90 SLX Carbon Fork rather than the Ritchey.
Rides dreamy. The Ritchey is also very nice as I have it on my Guerciotti Neuron setup and has been great. |
Very nice looking machine. Enjoy.
And, I do have a custom titanium with a yellow fork. I like it! The shop did not approve until they saw it put together. |
Very nice!
|
What an awesome project, thank you for sharing it with us.
Please provide an update on what it is like to ride, after you have taken it for a few rides. |

I have been taking measurements from my Domane as it is a good fit. The set back allows me to have very nearly the same reach as that bike so it should work.

Not to high jack the thread, but although set back does affect reach it shouldn't be used to set reach. It's for the legs and relation to BB and pedals.

Great looking build.
I will warn you, a Litespeed looks great with just about any colour bar tape. Green, pink, blue, etc. |
