Cannondale 2.8 R900 - first foray into gears

Im having bar tape issues

i wanted Fizik superlight soft touch, but my local fixer is fresh out

i need two sets aswell as ive got a set of compacts for the track also

anyone care to share their opinion of awesome bar tape and what they think would look rad on this?

black only

lizard skins dsp

Ive been contemplating lizard skins DSP, is it really that good?

fcku it going to go and buy some, wrap the bars on the track, and if i like it, get some more for the road

if i dont like it its your fault TM

It REALLY is that good.. so comfy. so expensive. so comfy.

worth it if you're planning on doing some decent miles.

at your rate though I'd stick with cheap cloth tape as you'll have sold these before you get a chance to get them dirty...

Couldn't you have bought a Supersix evo for what this has cost?!

haha even your at it now, i get enough stick from locals, these two are keepers!

im going to build a nice little cannondale family!

Couldn't you have bought a Supersix evo for what this has cost?!

quite probably....

i like it old school though......

shit. just done some quick maths. thats not cool at all.....

although it is pretty fucking cool......

Cannondale Super Six

£8499 for about 3kg lighter......

mine looks well better anyway...

Spinergys bring an invaluble sense of danger too....

You just never know when you're going to explode, its like russian roulette

Crabonz Roulette

so with bar tape and pedals, probably looking around 8.5kg in total

My bike weighs 10kg without gears so think yourself lucky!

Most of the pork is in those wheels, right?

Nope dem iz crabonz an crabonz is well lyt.

These ones are so light that one day they'll brake yo face b

Basically what he said.

did some cabley stuff today

Vince got bored after one cuppa and went home

just did a quick weigh in

everything is now on the bike except the bar tape and pedals (speedplay Zero - Titanium)

7.8kg

will do official weigh in tomorrow with park tools scales when i take it in to LBS to get the gears tuned

pretty impressed

expect very picture heavy content of final finished build tomorrow / sunday

Cabling is the worst, I've done it a couple of times but have decided now just to leave it to the lbs when it's a full bike....

Yeah the brakes are fine, but with the way I've 'done' the gearing, it sounds like a bag of spanners right now!

Needs collar stiffners. Rear brake cable looks an inch too long.

Also - Half black / half Yellow bar tape << actually scrap that .. Needs yellow hoods
