Tune MIG and MAG, low spoke count, shallow section carbon tubs. And it's actually 915g....
Extralite hubs are even sillier....
Beautiful & just shows what can be done when cost, value and robustness are not considerations! I imagine they'll get a load of requests once word gets out to the hill climb fanatics...
It's here!!!
Got a phone call this afternoon saying that my Bianchi Oltre XR3 Disc had arrived early. Just got back from picking it up and it's absolutely beautiful. <3 It's not the lightest bike in the world, but it's not too hefty at 7.9kg (according to my digital luggage scales). A new bar/stem combo can easily shave that down by 2-300 grams.
It's an aero bike, it doesn't need to be lighter than 8kg! Really want some top quality drool pics asap pls!
Quick photo for you randomshenans.
Think I need a new house, garage isn't big enough!
@SoliD wins the bike count competition.
Inflite looks great, toptube kink looks far less pronounced in your picture/reality than in the review pics and Canyon website. Still a shame you couldn't get it in YELLOW!
3/4 races do tend to be a bit wait for the sprint, especially crits. The odd attack, but mostly just people gassing themselves and never getting anywhere unless they are a cut above. 2nd cat racers on the whole tend to be a little more tactical I'd agree. People have the legs to get away with well timed attacks and the team element adds another dimension. Breakaways do have more chance to get away if well represented. it's generally just a lot more enjoyable than low category racing.
Good summary, thanks for the clarification/confirmation
Sounds like xdcx! Although he seems to have disappeared!
Isn't he back to taking up running now? Probably like
@FrenchTart and 90% of all the other runners out there, injured 50% of the time. #shotsfired
Ha quick email to specialized and they have agreed with the local shop I use to replace both the headset and the rear wheel.
brilliant
They did try to squirm a bit but when I mentioned it is a cyclocross I expected it to be tough they folded
Great result and totally as expected/justified. LBS should've already thought/suggested that already if you got it from them?!
They did just get bought over and are in a mess for ordering bikes and parts.
Who owns Felt now?
I want my bike
This nice weather and I can't even ride it. Tempted to go and just take it home with the flat pedals until the other kit comes in, just so I can ride it, and then trigger people when they see me on the road
"Oh now that's a nice bike, just look at......wait....ARE THOSE FLAT PEDALS?!"
DO IT! I'm sure the shop will agree with you. Although don't you have pedals from your BTwin you could swap over?
Imagine how quick you'd be up Pencombe without lumping all that stuff up with you
Pfft! You've actually seen how much I carry! Don't make me pull out segment times up there from our ride!
To be fair my mudguards are nearly 1.5kg so much of that and being a gravel bike it's not designed to be light. The Praxis crankset on there is also known to be quite a heavyweight... #excuses
The rider on top is also closer to 80kg than he should be!
