Show Us Your Carbon!!!

[Pedrosanchezo]

The new olympic tarmac build is nearly finished, thought I would get some progress pictures up.. it comes in at 13lb with all components with a bit more weight to lose. I will post more pics when its done.
Olympic S-Works Tarmac, Zipp 202 Firecrest with ceramic speed bearings, Zipp SLC2 Bars, Zipp Service Course Stem, S-Works Carbon Troupe Saddle, TRP Carbon Brakes, Di2 DuraAce with s-works 165mm carbon crank

I just love how few decals it has on the frame, why do manufacturers not realize how cool bikes look without being plastered in decals.

I thought my De rosa was light at 7kg with pedals.

You can't have it all... De Rosa has class and flair.

I do love the bike very much. It has an undeniable je ne sais quoi. Though even the new De Rosa SuperKing weighs just under 7kg's with Campag EPS and that's £7000 +. Lovely bike though.

Yea I'm quite lucky, I mean I do work damn hard for a living.

Where is the Quarq?

Agree re. the minimal decals, the new Cannondale SuperSix Evo Black Inc is gorgeous in its simplicity.

Fills me with confidence............. LOL - Mine should be with me next week and it better be 100% as I am currently stuck in the 34 as my big ring is farked and drops the chain constantly, try doing HIIT in the small ring, lol. Training last night with the club culminated in a mock scratch race, attacking with your biggest gear 34:12 is somewhat futile, lol!

In all defence the support has been second to none, they have been mega helpful and gone out of their way to address things and I have total faith in the product.... The problems started when it was uploaded from the van and promptly ran over, so im sure your going to be ok

 

[Rob3rt]

Just had a big round lump of carbon arrive......... yummy! Can you guess what it is?

 

[MattHB]

Finally managed to complete the new build. Still needs a bit of work but its pretty much ready to ride.......

My guess would be that you did not run over it .. is it your Quarq ??

Nah, that is a week away, it is my disc wheel! Looking forward to fitting a tub and racing with it in March, looks very nice in hand, obviously haven't used it yet, but I have to say, I am impressed with FFWD's quality and presentation so will be buying a FFWD front wheel too. Split between a 90mm deep section or a tri spoke, tri spoke looks more pro for sure, hehe.

Yea the ffwd stuff is proper quality imho, really nicely finished, .... where is the required picture?
