Since I've decided that the AR wasn't the bike for me, it freed me up to use the parts on something else.


13.72lbs in a size 58cm, with pedals and two bottle cages.
:thumb::rofl:


I did a crappy job of painting an FSA carbon headset top, but it looks good from 2+ feet away.
Don't hate too much on the cables, they are actually really, really rad, and because I prefer to run both of my SRAM cables in front of the bar, they're kind of needed. I was hoping we had a set in black laying around, but it was either polished or gold, and what the hell, a little color isn't so bad.
I was hoping to have the entire Deda setup, but they sent me a 44cm Presa bar (in white!), which is equal to a 42cm in other bars. I need a 46cm Deda. I was going to order a 46cm Zero100 bar in white, but I haven't gotten around to it, and may not. Maybe I'll just stick a white EA90 on there instead.


Shimano DA7800 front derailler, the Red titanium cage is too flexy. Enduro ceramic BB is bloody amazing. These cranks spin better than Campy Record square tapers. Just forever.


Deda post looks like it was made for this bike.


So there she is, fit is exactly the same as my F95, which is to say perfect. It's just 3lbs lighter.

That cable housing will wear quickly through the frame if it can rub at all. Get some clear protective tape if it might touch.

It has tubes on the housing, if you look.

Looks nice, James.
Yeah, they have little rubber grommets that you can move around. They're pretty badass cables, it's all I'm going to run next year on all my bikes. Super easy to install, nicer than Nokons, and lighter! Plus they won't squeak, there are little plastic ferrules in between the alloy parts.

Thanks! I'm pretty chuffed on it too...

Mike approved!

Do you use those wheels on an everyday basis?
Yeah, they're pretty strong wheels, even for my fat ass. Light, fast, stiff, great wheels.

Nice - what is you username over on weightweenies.com :)
Same as it is on MTBR... :)


what kind of cables are those?

a white EA90? seriously? i haven't seen that yet.
White EA90, yeah, hotness. They're doing an EA70 bar in white too. Cadel has the stem on his bike.

The cables are Jagwire prototypes, I think they'll be out this fall or so. Highly recommend.

That looks amazing James! I really hope you get a few miles on it before it gets converted into diapers! :D

Won't get turned into diapers, but I just found out that it will probably be turning into something else. At least the parts will swap over... :)
See you soon!


It looks like he has room in other places for weight savings.
Yes, but new bike parts are so much easier, aren't they?

But the performance gains are sooo much more effective the other way.
