My Modern Road Ride for 2010

I have revealed my fixie, my vintage steel retro-mod, and the 2007 version of my MTB on this blog.  With this modern road ride added, this is my stable of four bikes.  Largely this is a post for myself.  I want to create a library of the bikes I ride and how they change over the years.

My goal for this bike was to have a modern full carbon race bike, with the revised 2010 Shimano components and lots of carbon.  Here is the spec list:

  • 2010 Dura Ace 7900 crankset and BB 53-39
  • 2010 Dura Ace 7900 chain
  • 2010 Ultegra 6700 carbon lever STI
  • 2010 Ultegra 6700 calipers to support the new cable pull of 6700 and 7900 levers
  • 2010 Ultegra 6700 derailleurs
  • 2010 Ultegra 6700 cassette 11-28
  • 2010 105 5600 SPD-SL pedals in black
  • 2008 FSA carbon integrated headset
  • 2008 BH stock carbon seatpost
  • 2009 FSA SL-K carbon monocoque compact bars 44cm

    • SAPIM SILS 16mm alloy nipples
    • Velocity Aerohead and Aerohead OC rims in Grey 32/36
    • 2 cross front and 3 cross rear lacing
    • Velocity Veloplugs instead of rim strips 
    • Salsa Flip Off skewers in silver

Fixed gear super shop. Request a specific frame size(52cm-60cm)c-t, select between bike frames all nice classic steel(Reynolds 531, Tange 1, 4130 Chromoly Steel), select preferred crank arm length(165mm-175mm), select gearing, select brake setup(no brakes, front only, full), select stem and bar. Basic package starts at $200 and includes all new (tires, tubes, chain, track cog, bar wrap). Build time is about 1 week, includes complete rebuild from frame up. If you have a vision let us help you make it a reality. Pictures include former builds and current projects. Get your Fixed Gear Fix, and rediscover the joy of riding this Spring. Classic steel will not let you down. Many of our bikes weigh less than carbon fiber and titanium super bikes that cost $3000 and up.

Memories like collecting donations for all the worthy causes, riding to complete fatigue, and the anticipation of riding with friends again the next year. This year was no different, and the challenges were large and persistent. We started early, under overcast skies and heavy anticipation of eventual rain. It wasn’t more than 20 minutes into th...

Columbus SLX and SPX I pulled the BB and checked the down tube, seat tube and chainstays how Dave Moulton recommended. 6 raised spirals. It is a dirty job but now the tubing has been revealed. Check out the vintage Serotta decals on the pearlized white and the ornate lug work. Anyone know what the two tapped holes were used for on the drive side Campagnolo drop out?
