Sorry for the delay. Been sick for about a week, haven't had the mental faculties to post much (don't even have the mental faculties when I'm healthy).

Prepping this bike for sale, took it for a quick, goodbye spin. Great bike, just no practical use. Skidding makes me nervous, and not smart on tubulars LOL. Practice in scrubbing speed before...

Love this!! Where did you snag it? I've been eyeing these for awhile. Looks like they are a good package. Did you build it, or buy it complete?

Looks awesome 😎

Done!

Will get final weight. Will be in the 21.5ish rate I think with Brooks. With higher end/lighter tires and tubes could probably shave a couple hundred grams.

Today's ride

Needs a bath. Heavy with the s3x wheelset (heavy, but indestructible) but rides smooth and perfect for hillier terrain. The weight doesn't impact average speed that I have noticed too much. Columbus...
