Thanks to everyone who helped me get this crazy bike together!
- NYC Velo for the build up
- Calfee for the frame repair (frameset was salvaged from the parts box @ NYC Velo)
- Just James! In a maaaajor way at that!

Final weight is 17.2 without water bottles a full Ultegra gruppo and with Shimano 959 pedals. Moving to Keos in a bit...

I know I know, I sorta rushed the shop a bit on the build. You should see what the bearing topcap looks like. It has a cable stop for canti brakes!

Of course, if anyone had the following parts I would reward you handsomely!

- 100mm 31.8 stem
- FSA topcap thing (covers the top bearing right before the spacers)
- 32mm seat clamp

It looks good, damn good! Get those mountain bike pedals off of there!

And do you doubt that I would have those parts in a storage box in my garage? Of course I do, well, not 100% sure on the clamp, but the others for sure.

You are the provider of all things Velo!

 

[James]

You put the real pedals on yet?

 

[Tame Ape]

no, its raining and gross over here. I'm easing into it sloooowly.

so what did Calfee charge for the repair? how much repair did it need? kinda curious to know seeing how much carbon has taken over.

Be careful walking in those shoes, they take a while to get used to. Use the heels for traction, they're rubber...

There was alot of damage in the seat clamp area as well as where the f.der clamps on. Total bill sans clearcoat (cosmetic only) was around $600...

not bad i guess
