E54s Quiver (Cervélo T1 completed)

Fun! I like the yellow cables on this.
Does it also fit you if you put the saddle at 'normal' ride height?

Its actually the first time I did not use black outers and I think it turned out well since its only two cables

Re size I frankly dont know since I’ve never tried plus I cut the seatpost to about 8cm 😇

is the chain 8spd? will a NW chainring work, or is that the reason for the tensioner? great bike, i had a killer V500 when i was a teen

I am not sure whether the NW ring unfolds its full potential with an 8s chain but it is definitely an improvement compared to the middle 3x ring i used before

The chain tensioner is mainly to avoid that the RD is jumping up and down when doing my crazy stunts (5cm bunny hops ☝🏼)

Together I expect to eliminate 9 out of 10 chaindrops, but I‘ll report on that once I found out

Oh and this happened

Thanks really helpful. Might buy a cheap one for my 8spd set up

I think for my BCD there was only china or garbaruk

Re the china ones you have to be a bit lucky with the sellers. First try ended up in a refund after 2 months

Eventually I went for this

That looks great fun. Love this era of Cannondale mountain bikes. Did you consider a magura raceline brake referencing Martyn Ashton or were you always set on canti's? Yellow hosing looks great

Many thanks!

I considered it but I decided against it as the neon somehow contradicts the other yellow

Plus i liked the compact solution with the LX unit having all in one

Now I'm jelly. Good catch!

One is for sale (369€)

In other news…

The big one of the two little ones woke me up at 5.00am today so after taking him back to bed, I took the chance and did 75k before 8am at 3 degrees.

Photos below and little video about it here.

Ive been doing this for three years now with more than 10,000km+ before 9am

Found an OG Spinergy RevX user manual and had to buy it for the drawings and fonts alone

What's the status on the campagnolo + stars & stripes caad4?

You can never go wrong with this one! Seems to be in pretty good state from what I can see?

Really good question…

I have two saeco project pending at the moment:

Viper red Team Bike

• i think i have all the parts together, even nos bartape and tyres
  
• still need to refurbish the spinergys (polish brake surfaces, polish carbon, change freehub, apply decals)
  
• but somehow I feel reluctant to put spinergys on the 2000 frame set where they used ksyriums
  
• currently I am honestly considering to sell all the parts and just keep the frame for neo-retro
  
  

SAECO USA

• i had all the parts together in january
  
• But the super record group from NL was in a 7/10 state and I didnt feel this was appropriate to put on such a clean build
  -since then I havent been motivated to source a new group
  
• bottom line: frameset, wheelset and ENVE parts have been sitting in the basement untouched
  
  

However, next week there will be a nice little surprise in the post so lets see if that changes hybernation on (one of) the two projects

In the meantime I wanted to say thanks to more than 60,000 views in three years - just WOW!!!11

.

The m900 was a too good to pass kind of deal but I've not a plan on how to build/use the bike so it sits untouched.

My 2 cents on your build dilemma: as a neo-retro your black and gold caad4 it's unmatched so imo there is no point building the viper red one with a modern groupset. Spinergys are a very popular option on period correct caad builds so I think it'll be an easy one if you go for it.

@vpCogworks - look! i bet if you ask nice enough, you can get more pics :)

^ oooyeah!
@e54 if you find yourself extremely bored in the future, could you perhaps scan it and upload it somewhere? :P

Check your DMs my guy

The circle is complete now ⭕️
