Ralegh team pro frame 1021 gm
Easton EC90 superlite fork 340 gm
ultegra 6600 wheelset
SRAM rival compact groupset
KMC X10 sl gold chain
Michelin pro 3 race tyres, 2 diff colours to match the frame
Carbon seatpost
Ti railed saddle
stem and steerer tube to be changed / cut just had to get it together to see what it looked like
Total weight 16.2 lb
should i lighten it more by putting a better groupset on it. or use as isdont only ride a bike0 -
Lovely.
By all means fit a lighter groupset; just send me the Rival when you've removed it.0 -
its the same team pro frame that nicole cook won the olympics on last year allegedly,
very harsh i must admit,
i have fitted a 12 - 23 ultegra 6700 rear cassette willchange to an 11 - 25 nice wide range in conjunction with the compact chainset, also will change the front mech its a 105 that i had spare,
i fancy changing the group to ultegra 6700 if i cant get used to double tap i like the hidden cables like on the rival,
what about wheels should i change the ultegras to RS80s or just stick with them, no real weight diffdont only ride a bike0 -
Nice looking bike

I'd stick with the Ultegras. Fine wheels by all accounts.
(Alternatively, send them to me with the SRAM kit)0 -
Nice job!
...poss also 'flip' the stem & re-post a pic once you've settled on the stem height. 16.2 pounds? - ride that whippet!!!!Cycling weakly0 -
cheers sky
i was well chuffed when it came up at that weight and the scales are callibrated to so its right
what u think of the 2 diff coloured tyres?dont only ride a bike0 -
...hmmm, the two diff coloured tyres...
...I can see what you're aiming at & why you've chosen that...
...personally, I would have gone for a pair in red.
...but, it's your bike & your choice.
...vive la difference! Cycling weakly0 -

Keep the fork steerer the length it is and mount a light on it I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0
