Built up pics!!
It's as yummy as licorice!
Yup, the ID8 has carbon seat tube and seat stays. The rest is double butted ti.
I put Easton EC70 Wing handlebars on it. I had these on the Axiom and I quite like them. The seatpost is a bit of an experiment (
) - an Easton EC90 - all carbon, even the seat clamp. The clamp is very flexy, so I don't know how it's going to be for seated climbs or hard riding.
Here are some pics. It's very different looking vs. both my Axiom and DH's ID8. I took it for a ride around the 'hood. Very stiff - much stiffer than the Axiom, and I think some of the front end vibration I feel vs. the Axiom is due to the wheels - Mavic Ksyrium SSC-SL's. It's also got an very upright ride. And, even tho' it looks like a tiny bike, it feels very big. So...the response to it, after about 2 miles is..."Hmmmmm" It will be interesting to take it out for a long ride.
