Re: Well I finished it
Nicely done Marcus.
Like Cal, I too am a bike nut on the side. I spend as much or more on bike upgrades than fishing. But I'm a MTB guy, the road just doesn't get me as excited as it used to, although I do recall some epic road rides. I prefer the solitude of the trails without the 3000lb SUVs pushing me off the road.
Right now I'm working on a dream bike, based on the new and yet to be released Ibis Mojo Carbon frame. Here is a pic of the wheelset... I can't get over how sweet these wheels are... I think they are working on a road set...
The new bike will be entirely black/carbon/annodized red, and will weigh in at 24.5lbs with 5inches of travel front and rear. Oh, can't wait for the frame, it is 3 months late.
Again congrats on the Tri.

Re: Well I finished it
I knew you would... they are the blingest wheels out there, but on top of that, they are stiff, light and incredibly smooth. They aint cheap...Cal wrote:i want the road set man!!!

Re: Well I finished it
Don't fret Cal, that was a prototype, and that blue ring is the shield on the back of a very large high quality Japanese bearing. You wouldn't see it with the cassette mounted. This is the actual wheelset as delivered to me...Cal wrote:yeah.. but what's with the baby blue dirt shield at the base of the freewheel?

Re: Well I finished it
Yup, Seven's are incredible beyond words, the craftmanship is unreal. I have a riding buddy that owns 4 Seven's (road, hardtail, singlespeed, cross) so I have inspected them in detail. Pure artwork.Cal wrote:This is the roadbike I covet... the Seven ID8... formerly known as the Odonota:
