Ok Silver, Here she is! (New Bike)
To disable ads, please log-in.
Here she is, '09 Trek Equinox TTX 9.0. I've made a few component changes and have added Aero Rotor Rings, and my Pro-Lite 50mm Carbon Clinchers. Rides nice and I feel good on the bike, but need a lot more practice in the aero position.
Silver, Thanks again for all your help!

HOT!!!!!
Now on a more productive note (ie: something I might be able to afford): where'd you get the nifty rear wheel stand and do you like it?

First, thanks everyone, I was very pleased with the bike, since I had to order it and had not seen one in Silver. It's metal flake and really pops in the sunlight. Typical Trek, the bikes almost always look better in person (I guess that is a good thing). Originally Posted by MartianDestiny

They are even handy when doing simple maintenance like chain lube, etc... They are a little pricey, but do work great, you might even get your local shop to sell you a used one if they have a lot of extras.
Thanks again

That's one cool looking bike! I saw it on your FB page with the heading "time to make it go fast". Made me wonder if it has a "Fast Button" that you push and voile - you're fast!

WOW!!!!!!
And in Silver! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!
Mr. you have put together a smoking hot bike!
Gimme some more details, please!!!!
As my friends and I have transistioned to TT/Tri bikes, we have found something of a learning curve. It's taken a few miles (not too many) before we saw faster speeds. Can't wait to hear your TT results!"Being retired from Biking...isn't that kinda like being retired from recess?" Stephen Colbert asked of Lance Armstrong

Silver, I still lust after your Cervelo!
Well it sort of started stock, but after this weekend the spec list should be:
Frame/Fork - Trek white carbon/XXX fork Large frame (58)
Shfiters - Dura Ace Bar-End
F/R Derailleurs - Dura Ace
Brakeset - Dura Ace
Brake Levers - Bontrager
Cassette - Dura Ace 12/27
Crankset - 105 Crank with 53/39 Aero Rotor Rings
Chain - 105
Stem - Bontrager
Basebar - Bontrager
Aerobars - Bontrager
Seatpost - Bontrager
Saddle - Bontrager
I copied your format for my spec list...
I did about 26 miles Sunday, after 105 on my Madone Sat. Felt good, I'm still working on getting the front end set up (who knew there could be so many adjustments). While there are a lot of Tri guys that ride Tri bikes on our group rides, I'm not sure I ready to give the TTX a run on a group ride yet.
2 Time Trails this week, so I better suck it up and at least not get any slower. Good to hear it might not take to long to start seeing some quicker times. Biggest thing right now is the legs getting use to the new position.
I wish it had a fast button...
Thanks again...
