After a few days of waiting it's finally here. I'm just waiting for a braze on front derailleur and I should have this baby ready by Sunday. So excited! Ride on! SL2 Gerolsteiner If this frame is good enough for Boonen and Bettini, then it's...way too much of a bike for me! ;D Thanks for viewing! Save the planet, ride a bike! Total weight so far is 14.74 lbs without the bartapes. Most parts came off of my Calfee. The following components are new with the frame: 2008 SWorks SL2 frameset with seatpost Easton EA90 stem and EC70 Wing bar (originally FSA cockpit, but I was too impatient ;D) Sram Force braze on front derailleur Sram PC-1090 chain Shimano Dura Ace 7800 casstte (12-25) Specialized Toupe saddle/bar tape (white) Specialized Rib Cage Pro H2O cages Thanks for viewing!

Another great bike Pedro! Now I'm wondering how your garage looks like, with your current collection of bikes. Just curious, how do you store 'em all? A picture would be great, hehehe ;D

A picture would be great, hehehe ;D Hey thanks Michelle. My SS is in the shed with the Yeti 575 (well it used to be, I've since given that bike to my brother ;D); my SS CX bike is in the computer room; my fixie, Orbea Alma, SWorks Carbon Epic in my room; and the new SL2 is in the hallway. And frames all over the place ;D lol! I need to get organized!

Whats gonna happen to the Six13, Pedro? I'm sorry brad, I've sold that bike about a year ago. ;D rode it for about 455 miles only. If I had known that I'd be racing, I'd have kept it. ;D

Built and ready to go. Yesterday without tape and computer (magnet, bracket,sensor and etc), it weighed at 14.74 lbs--still illegal under UCI rule. Today with tape and computer bracket, magnet and sensor--w/o the computer itself), it weighed in at 14.96 lbs--still illegal under UCI rule. 15.03 lbs with everything--barely legal. The bike could weigh way less, but as it is, it's light enough. Save the planet, ride a bicycle! Thanks for viewing. Ride on!

Nice and yummy build you got there Pedro sir! And the STRONGLIGHT cranks, I want one, hehehe... ;D Specialized Toupe saddle, that's my next target to replace the saddle of mine in the near future. I'll ride the SRP for now. Thanks for sharing.
