Cousin just got this in the mail not too long ago:



Any thoughts on the build? We're think Di2 and Sram S80s (he currently has a front S80 already) or just getting a Zipp 1080 in the rear. As far as the bars and saddle are concerned, it's up in the air. The annoying part seems to be the fact that it uses a BB86 bottom bracket, which limits him to Shimano, Sram, Rotor, and FSA (I was hoping C'dale would make the Hollowgrams BB86-compatible but as far as I've found, nothing yet). Of those, I think Rotor is the coolest but I've got no experience with the Q rings so I can't comment.

Either way, it's gonna be a sick sick sick build to compliment his Felt F5 and Jamis Sonik.

 

^^^ Very nice!

I vote DI2 if he got the money and if he competes on hilly terrain. the only advantage on a Tri bike I see(besides the super crisp shifting) is the ability to change gears on the drops. Im thinking of going with the new Sram Red. I currently have Ultegra and would save nearly a pound and a half! That is freaken huge!

 

Just saw this at the gym, I deal with cramps a lot, almost every ride. I'm going.

 

Not my pic, but the same bike I have.

 

Taken from the top of a state park in New Haven, CT. Mines the dark grey CAAD 9 (last of the made in the USA). I have a mountain bike, it's old and retired. I really want the 29er I've eyed at the shop.

 

Cycling and your diet do not go together. It's all that junk your eating. Also gaining weight will do you NO good on the bike.
