yihun wheels? probably spelled the name wrong. 66/88 wheelset looks amazing on that bike! correct me if I am wrong, but dont those only weigh like 1650g? I think you need to send them to me to double check

Sorry about posting again. But I took a ride yesterday and stopped off at my buddies house who happens to have garage doors. Does it still count if they are not your doors? Lol.

I failed to mention this is my first Garage door post.

Fuzion F1 wheelset at about 1750 gs with the skewers.

I think it counts, but now you'll have to ride back and retake the pic with your valve stems both pointing the same way and the crank arms level...

Thanks for the kind words, folks. I built the bike up on a budget and am very happy with how it came out. I don't regret selling my S-Works SL2 for a second. PM for more information if you'd like it.

Photoshop magic. I propped an awful looking wood piece under the bottom bracket to stand it up.
A little clone stamp tool and about 20 minutes per photo and its much cleaner now, though maybe a bit unnatural looking...

I see the term 'fred' tossed around a lot here. I can only assume it is somewhat derogatory. Am I right?

It's a term used far too often by people that think they're better than you. Don't worry though, they're just scared you'll pass them while they ride their $6k bike with power meter and team jersey on a "training ride". Then they'll ***** about a fredly wheelsucker in yet another Fred Thread on BF. It's a never ending cycle really.

Nice ride
