bike is currently disassembled and awaiting powdercoat. got REAL tired of the thin chipped black paint. the paint was never a high point of this frame.
keeping the adidas theme, but it's going to be way more subdued and if i have my way, the new finish should be extremely attractive.
colnago track drops are beautiful things. got them taped up and on the bike, it's no longer wearing deda formalwear.
i love my gold kazane 144bcd 48t cranks from keirin culture. originally i had built this up with parts from my conversion, but i've since replaced everything. cranks were the last to get upgraded, and what an upgrade it was.
In sept. 07, as far as i know, this was the only threadless mercier kilo TT with the stock fork... if your steerer tube is long enough, you can use the stock fork threadless... now that they're shipping them threadless from bd, it's not so special.
this bike is heavy. heavier than I would hope. that's what happens when you use cheap parts. it's still fast, stiff, and a thrill to ride.
