About
This bike is insane – I am very happy.
Just picked this one up from eBay and plan to build it up from parts from my current Fetish SAC bike. The dude selling the frame says it weighs 2.6 lbs, which would be cool of course if it turns out to be true…I’m just psyched since I have wanted this frame since it came out two years ago.
I was considering going with Keywin pedals since I have always been curious about them (crazy Aussie’s…), but have also always wanted Speedplays…so I picked up a pair of Zero’s, the Stainless one’s (b/c I weigh 175-180 lbs, and that’s apparently too much for the Ti spindles).

Thanks Eric! It arrived in the mail today - I can't believe how nice and light it is, it's awesome - a real step up from the SAC which it is replacing.

I saw this new bike and had no idea it was yours. I'm not surprised. That thing looks amazing.
