10 days more before I can ride it!

Finally also bought the saddle today!


Fizik Arione CX Bicycle Saddle Red Gloss, I think the 'gloss' will go very well with rest of the bike.

[syedhyder]

Well that's a wonderful saddle out there.

What is the weight of this saddle?

[RNair]

I am finally in possession of it after many months of wait. I think the bike looks better than the stock photograph.

Hereby declared the understatement of the year.

[deepakvrao]

Nice. Did the seat post come with the frameset?

[RNair]

Yes Deepak, it comes with the bike as it is not round and is custom shaped with the seat tube.

[prabuddhadg]

Nice! What size is that frame? Looks smaller than your other bikes.

[RNair]

Exactly identical to the Paris. Frame size 53cm with toptube 54.5 cm.

[prabuddhadg]

That is one carbon bike that I like. In spite of the fat tubes and all.

And somehow it reminds me of a whippet.

When do you start building it up? Waiting eagerly.

[RNair]

It will be done tomorrow! It is coming out pro quality, good enough to be ridden in any pro tour

6.6 kilos, barely legal.Weighed every little thing on an industrial scale and the below is 100% reliable. Seems CC too weighs them independently of what the manufacturers state!

[prabuddhadg]

Hope you don't ride into a cross wind. Your wallet is a lot lighter already. LOL By the way, how come the frame does not feature in the list?? And the bb features twice, once on its own and once with the crank?

[vkalia]

PDG, you obviously dont spend enough time on the CC website, putting together your dream bike The bike frame weight is in a panel above the one Raj copied.

[prabuddhadg]

You forget I ride steel. So, weight rarely features in my dreams. And what is this about dream bike in singular?? You mean you have ONE? Curious statement.

I suppose you dream every day. Right?

[vkalia]

^^ Well, CC used to carry Pegerottis.

And you can only have 1 dream bike in a particular type, b/c, by definition, it is perfect. I have a dream road bike and a dream MTB.

[prabuddhadg]

^^ Well, CC used to carry Pegerottis....

Aghast! You of all people, I used to think, would have a dream carbon road bike, a dream titanium road bike, a dream long distance touring bike, a...

Apologies this thread dragged on for so long. Here are a few photographs





Pinarello Dogma 60.1 in its climbing avatar with Sram Red and other 3T components with Fulcrum Carbon Racing Lights at 6.6 kilos!

[bonigv]

beautiful! You said racing avatar for the Cassette?
Red valve stems - that is a nice touch

[RNair]

Racing avatar because I have the shallowest of rims on that bike. The deep profile lightweights will replace these wheels during a road race. I dont have them yet.
Yes I do have that 28 behind, since I will be needing it on Stelvio in August

[akshay200x]

Beautiful!

[prabuddhadg]

That is a handsome bike. Some nice close ups now, maybe?

And you said 28 for Stelvio?! With my legs, even on that bike, it would be suicidal.

[deepakvrao]

Beautiful.

[vkalia]

That's a sexy bike - the mismatched saddle and handlebar tape actually works here (normally, I am not a big fan).

And you know Raj is going to be rocket fast on it, given how red it is (Capt Knees is wrong- it isnt the components that make him faster).

Rosy darling
