Yeah! After 5 weeks of deliberations and shopping I have finished (or my BF has finished, more correctly) building my first high end bike.Drumroll please...though the setup isn't aggressive yet and the headtube needs to be cut down a bit more here goes....
She is an '08 585 Optimum size small
built up with:
DA 7800 shiny bits (standard double, 12-27 climbing cassette)
Easton EA90 SLX wheels with Conti 4000s tires
Bontrager VR 38 cm bars
Zeus Cat III carbon stem
Ritchey WCS carbon seatpost
Arundel sideloader bottlecages and Arundel Gecko tape
Even with the as-of-yet-un-upgraded Bontrager InForm saddle and Keo classic pedals she weighs in at a sweet 16 lbs even.![]()
Riding her feels like dancing in a silk dress with a man you love.Only faster.
