WABA Bike Swaps

[Cataboo]

Litespeed came & it fits great. Geometry wise it's pretty much almost identical to my carbon bike. The saddle even seems to be usable, but I'll still swap it out. It doesn't look like it was ridden much at all looking at the cogs & cranks, but does have scratches that seem more storage related (stickers where a bike rack would hold it).

I hate the handlebars, but I knew that & will swap those. With the heavy saddle that it came with, it comes in under 16 lbs.

I only got out for a few miles on it tonight before it got dark & started raining - but so far seems very fast, responsive & lively. Oh, and I hate the handlebars.



I'm thinking i can skip the flame stickers on this one, but it does need blinger handelbar tape.

Well, it looks darned sweet.....crappy handlebars not withstanding.
I like the understated black tape. But then, that's from me with 2 unpainted ti and black bikes.
What's the component group? Is that a compact crank?

mmmm...Ti...drool...

I think the handlebars were slightly angled up which had me bending back my wrists on the drops which contributed to the hate the handlebars - but they're just thin and didn't have any of the usual padding that I have on my bars (my wrists suck)

The components are 10 speed ultegra, the cranks are compacts. I might end up switching out the cranks, but I'm going to try to ride them and see how I do.

If I have bling on my handlebars, it distracts people from how slow I am (look... something shiny) and how much I need to grow into the bike.

The weather gods hate me. It's only raining to frustrate me when I have a bike I really want to ride.

It's all about you, isn't it?
