Levers might be tilted up a bit too much for my liking but other than that
did I mention that I love drillium and the elite button cages?

Mumonkan

bars/levers are all leveled out now, cant be assed to take more pictures

Johnny Mullet

Seriously want your opinion regardless of the make............

I'm caught between vintage and not-really-vintage, so I'll just leave this here. Have at it.

It may not be a fancy new bike, but it's not without its charms, and evidently well taken care of, which is saying something.

DrIsotope

I just hope I lined everything up right.

While none of these bikes are carbon race bikes that normally get the hots in this thread, I can appreciate all of them as they all look well ridden and cared for by people that appreciate bikes.

Great mashup of parts, my only complaint is the hood placement, but that's purely aesthetic. I know you though, so I'm probably bias. All of your bike builds are fantastic.


I'm always partial to Fuji's because it was my first bike. This one looks to be stock for the most part, so it'll be nice to see it as you switch out parts and what becomes of it. Gray and orange frame is fantastic though, lots of cool things you can do with it.


My biggest complaint is the chainring, but I'm guessing it's stock so I give it credit for looking that nice and being such an older bike. Most people wouldn't give this bike a second look but I appreciate how much you've put into it and how much you've cared for it.

Not huge on the red tires, but the rest of the bike is fairly toned down, so not too bad. I'm getting into older bikes and I dig old cannondales.

If you're trying to be the crazy "line up everything correctly guy" change your spoke magnet so it's hidden by the seat stay when your valve stem is at 6 o'clock so it's not visible in photos.

I think it is hot. Front tire is not centered with the valve if you are going for nit picking. I like everything else though.

One more part to add this weekend and I'll post it in the thread of hate and let it get ripped apart lol, just waiting on my ultegra crankset. As it stands, it's an ultegra bike minus crankset, carbon bars and seatpost, selle italia flite carbino seat, Hutchinson fusion 3 tires 25mm, tokyowheels 38mm carbon clinchers, and Blackburn carbon cages.

I call it poverty hot 👌

ravenmore

It has potential. Saddle looks nose down and, even though I know some insist they're functional, I'm not a fan of the ergo handlebars. Not sure why you call it poverty hot. A full carbon frame with Ultegra is above the poverty level - at least where I live.

Jeremy_S

I haven't set the saddle position yet, I just switched saddles again and thanks to an infected sweat glad, I haven't been on the bike since the day I got home and posted this picture. I'm not supposed to "exert" myself until it gets cleared up so that's my excuse. Saddle will be right once I can get on and do 50+ miles at a time and adjust as I go to get it where I want it.

The bars, I'm not sold on them yet either. I love them in the drops but I cannot get comfortable on the hoods.

ravenmore

Unfortunately we have to with as it is as it is presented - I've been burned by that too lol. Want to make sure it's in it's Sunday best before throwing it up here. No worries and hopefully you can put some miles on that bad boy here soon.

Jeremy_S

Got 20 on it this morning and had zero gas left in the tank. Between the antibiotics and puking all weekend, I have NO energy to go any further. Seat came down 5mm and is set, swapped bars again, still looking for the perfect set. Think I'm close but want to try 5mm shorter reach and 10mm less drop if I can find a set. I want to be able to ride comfortably in the drops AND on the hoods. The other set I couldn't get the hoods set to be comfortable at all and you look funny climbing a hill at 12 mph in the drops lol.

bianchi10

I would suggest looking at Ritchey Logic curve bars. Sounds like it fits what your after.

Jeremy_S

Thanks for the tip, just looked them up and that's definitely about the numbers I'm looking for. Now I've just gotta find them in stock in black.

Johnny Mullet

I got a few more weight reduction upgrades in the works

Muffin Man

And again

SpeshulEd 

Wait, what's different?

Muffin Man

Nothing. Just in a different thread lol.

Edit: Although I am looking for an Easton EC90 fork that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Would drop 300g compared to the woundup.

SpeshulEd 

The bike looks great...I'm kind of jealous that your pink hubs are brighter than my pink hubs.

Timo

I like this very much. Good combination of classic and modern components. Well done!

Funny? I'm almost always in the drops when climbing, even out of the saddle. Don't think it's that uncommon.
