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:
  • 2008 BH Connect 59cm used frame and fork
  • 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
  • Cervelo bar wrap in white
  • Velocity Bottle Traps in grey
  • Custom Wet White Powder Coated 100mm 4 bolt stem 31.8
  • Selle San Marco ASPide FX titanium railed saddle white
  • Custom Brazen Cycleworks Wheelset
    • Custom Wet White Powder Coated Shimano 5600 hubset
    • SAPIM Laser 14/17/14g spokes custom powder coated Transparent Blue
    • 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.

I got this bike shipped to me from my parents, little did they realize I had already bought a folding bike which is much easier to get up the stairs in my apartment. I assembled it and it is ready to ride fixed speed. Comes with freewheel, but you can install a track cog. Includes brakes, but I doubt you will need them if you have a track cog. Would look cool with Pink Oury grips. Willing to trade for Calculus or Physics texts that I need for next semester. Whatcha got? I am also a bit dismayed where fixed gears and ..., gulp, fixed gear culture have gone in the last two years. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the hell out of riding mine. I also enjoy the Craigslist-Bicycles culture and getting indignant and revealing responses from CL trollers. Enjoy the responses from my rece...
