The SQLAB bars are the best bars ive ridden so far.. not super weightweenie (240g at 380mm like mine) but you can get them in sale for 180-200

Plus theres an internal version now, too

R312 is the model

No attention to detail, well thats hitting my guts 😮‍💨

Re the saddle: the choice is on purpose because it is the only saddle I know hiding its rails and therefore perfectly meets the bold theme of the oversized tubes, wheelset and aero crank. All other carbon saddles would have looked to fragile and would therefore have missed the theme

And just out of curiosity: Whats so bad about velobike? (Except prices but ofc neither the ring nor the bars were bought rrp)

Many thanks guys! Pretty proud of how a mediocre low budget rim brake bike can turn our if you put some thought into it

@hugo7 I used Ultegra R8000s and to be honest I cannot sense a decrease in performance. Have to add I am 77kg and ride mostly flat tho. Adjustments of the calipers go without tools so thats a super cool feature (lots of fakes around tho, be careful)

@elswick @MrBaklava Rear is 28mm on a 17mm internal rim. Limiting factor is def. The chain stays. Brake bridge and fork would easily take more than 30s

Unfortunately I dont own modern rims to properly test it

Track day 👀

Well.. I wouldn‘t call it racing but I am using is on the track, yes

👀🎯

Thanks guys!

@ZenithE Can I feature your rat Optimo on insta please (this is more of a command than a question tbh)

Saddle itself yes

Proportion-wise i think flites do not look too good on inline posts

Always wanted a T1
So put a lot of love into this

Finally put this lil mf together

Those of you being on insta:

Last week I started my own cannondale appreciation account

@caadastrophe

Appreciate any follow/share

If you have nice projects/frames/items with good quality photos hmu

Cheers

Just yesterday I swapped the BB on my CAAD12 so happy to give you feedback.

With the old BB i did not notice any creaking - only changed the bearings because they were busted

Otherwise i can pretty much vouch what dammit said

Here are some photos just becoz

Yep this frame set is sporting some nice little details despite its simplicity at first glance

Wheels:

To be frank thats exactly my thought

Second choice would be aldhu carbon

Budget wise I had to opt for omnium even if I would have preferred an aero spider on this thing

First mockup

I must say colours, proportions and vibe turned out exactly as I had them in my head

Tubs glued
Bars mocked up (need to cut the steerer slightly)

Congrats to 1,000,000 my guy

T1

After more than a year, this thread will feature a track build soon

Bit of midlife crisis involved I guess

would

Ideally something thiccc as it will go on a pretty aero-ish frame set

BSA

Thanks so much!

So this thing has undergone an almost full rebuild (except group and crankset)
