n_maher Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Just 2.0. It's a 2020 Roubaix S-Works Team - found it on FB marketplace with ~500mi on it (allegedly) and started stalking it more than 6 months ago. Picked it up for 1/3 MSRP and I can't find a mark on it and it came with a few minor extras. I also managed to source a very lightly used set of period correct Dura-Ace Di2 to equip it with and other than the battery holder and a few tiny pieces, I've got everything I need. That box arrives Monday and my shop should be finishing the build Thursday. I can't wait to ride it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to come back to look at it again (I may be a drink or 3 in.) I fucking approve! Just now, MexicanDragon said: Fuck, man. Your current bike is SO hot, yet the ne wone is just... man.

swt61 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 (edited) At first I thought we had a little quake here on the West coast. Then I realized it was Brent having an orgasm. Ewww! Edited March 17 by swt61 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is weird, don’t understand his fascination with having a nice bike, when a Schwinn will throw him to the ground just as well. Looking good, Nate! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 And yet I think even a Schwinn is wasted on him. Surely a Huffy is more fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Here she is, finished as of today courtesy of my LBS who did the final wiring and brake lines. As it sits, with pedals, cages, saddle, 17.3lbs. Of course we are now supposed to get snow tomorrow so it'll be a bit before I get it out for the maiden voyage. 🤬 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Love it! Now, though, I'm just wondering how to get that closer to 6.79kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already running carbon everything and full Dura Ace so maybe you could find 500g or so with different pedals, crank (ditch the power meter), and wheels plus going tubeless, but I doubt we could find the 1000g it'd take to challenge the UCI weight limit. i'll probably try to focus on the rider losing two pounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanDragon Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 No bike pix, b/c I was too exhausted and had to take a nap after so much riding, but my Porsche and Diablo-aficionados may can appreciate a couple numbers up there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
