Awesome build, but the color

Submitted by AlM on 04/26/2009.

Awesome build, but the color is disgusting. to each their own I guess...

Funny, I always wanted to know how my rhp would look with that same exact wheel setup. I'd go with an ellipse these day though for weight.

to each his own indeed. i originally wanted to do a purple but all the samples i saw came out different in different lighting. so i changed my mind and when with the "flourecent yellow" instead which also ended up more green than yellow

i like how everyone assumes ellipses to be "lightwieght" when they are far from it. but im looking at it from a road bike wheelset stand point. the only thing i would change with my rear wheel is to go with a 24h to further save wieght. but i guess the 32h makes for a more solid wheel.

Did you have it sprayed or

Submitted by AlM on 04/29/2009.

Did you have it sprayed or powdercoated, and how much was that? After a few more rattle can trials, I'll probably get my frame done professionally in the future.

From a road standpoint i guess, but an ellipse set will save a lot of weight over a typical deep v set. And bladed spokes make up for the lack... How do you like you're rhp compared to all the other bikes you have/have? I love mine, but ive never ridden any other alloy track frames.

it was powdercoated as maas

Submitted by a.spl on 05/01/2009.

it was powdercoated as maas in livermore. frame alone cost me 150 but its cause its a 2 stage job. i did a rattle can on one of my frames but i dont like how it isnt durable.

honestly im not 100% positive on how i like it yet. in the first week i got it rebuilt i logged about 150 miles, but im still fine tuning my cleat position, and saddle height/angle. but for its size (comparable to all my previous frames) it feels fairly small
