  • Those wheels. Yeah. Those ones.

  • How much does it weigh?

  • just a bit under 7kg (6.970grams)
    but now with liquid super sealant it passed the 7kg

  • I'm going to go against the grain and say I preferred it how it looked with the HED wheels .. But it's a jolly nice ride either set of wheels

  • those HED wheels had (for me) too much visual (and real) weight.
    I love to see them with a carbon frame (a fat frame) but not with this "slim" steel frame.

    here you can see a bike that i like to see with those HED wheels

  • you need there black sram red calipers

  • what bottle cage is that?

  • an old specialized one
    it seems titanium but it's not. It's cromoly

  • Love this bike. very inspirational.
    do you have a component list? preferably with some weights on it.
    over the next year or so I'm going to spec out a steel road bike. my aim is sub 8 kg, but my frame is already 600g heavier than yours.

  • i don't know (for sure) the components weights
    The only thing i know is the full weight of the bike
    The bike has:

    • full SRAM Red (Sram force brakes)
    • zipp 202 wheelset
    • Ritchey carbon seatpost
    • 3T ergonova Team (carbon) handlebars
    • 3T stem
    • Chris King headset and BB
    • SLR carbon rails saddle
    • Look carbon pedals

    the fork is also very light

  • Looks great

  • Thanks for the input, Dave!

  • i bought some Sram Red parts to this project

    How come that cassette's missing some teeth?!

  • ^ yeap, boredom answered ;-)

  • Please tell me ^ this is not how Portugal was looking today?

    Below is a photo of England today:

    We have all the clouds.

  • not today. 4 days ago : )

    today's ride was like this

    well, you can't have it all
    you have the money and we have the sun :)

  • : )

  • Gorgeous, great work.

  • last week i bought a pair of dura-ace 7700 hubs (NOS)

    than two Mavic Reflex 32h SUP cd rims

    i finished the wheels just a few hours ago. Tomorrow will be the test drive.
    i only rode 1 or 2 km and i really liked the wheels. Very smooth

    soon i'll try to take better photos
