    Yeah? How IS it staying up?
  • Its not quite as light as bencolm's Icon, but it has the same magic property of remaining perfectly upright whenever you leave it.

    It got me up Alpe d'Huez in a new p.b. and will be tackling the long etape in the summer:

    Mines shed a few more pounds since - Tune Olympic Aero's, 3T Doric Ltd post and 3T Ergonova Ltd / 3T Arx Ltd bar/stem combo (not shown) have brought the weight down to 13.4lbs. And yes I have added a few nokons to lengthen the rear brake cable!

    Nice choice of ride btw scr98wgs :wink:

  • Wow - I'm mighty jealous of those wheels. 13.4lbs!! Mine's gonna have to go on a diet. However, the wife is still recovering from shock when she found out how much the frame was. She couldn't believe I'd spent that much on a lump of metal. I tried to tell her it was a bargain at 60% off.
  • Stunning bikes.

    Its always a good idea to colour your bike the same as your summer house.
    I'm doing the long etape this year too, see you at the finish line!!!!
