there ya go maybe ya can help with that

[Nitromike]

Not cheap, but you can drop a chunk changing wheelsets, the FSA RD400 is a good one for around $400. Saddle looks like a S.I. Trans Am? If so you can drop over 100 grams swapping to a S.I. SLR or almost 100 going to a SLK, both can be had for $80 or so. ITM MIllenium stem will drop some, not sure how much though. BTW, did I mention cutting weight can get expensive? :D It all depends on what you want to spend, for around $1k you can cut a pound, is it really worth it?.

[dhrider]

yeah i knew it was gonna be pretty pricey but im gonna do one thing at a time and hopefuly cut the cost by ordering thru a local shop, thanks god for sponsors

[Nitromike]

Here's mine, swapped to Ultegra brakes today.

Nice Allez. I think I have the same thing :) I just bought an 04 Allez Sport. No pics yet...I'll get some this week, hopefully.

[Nitromike]

Mine is the Elite, 1 step up from what you bought. Still a good bike though. Unfortunately they cancelled the sexy red and black color scheme they had listed for pre-release :(

[JGard]

Yeah, didn't see that color available for the Sport. I'm kinda poor, and I'm a beginner, so I kept it as cheap as possible.

I Wanted the carbon color...but noooo, that isn't currently available on teh 04's in 62cm. Oh well. Blue and white it is.

Nice bikes :D

[CouchingTiger]

Here's a pix of my new road rig. Pretty sweet (though I only have 600 miles on it or so). C-dale R3000 CAAD7 frame, full 2004 DuraAce 10 speed, Ksyrium SSL's, FSA bar/stem/headset. I added D/A pedals and swapped saddle for a SLR and Hutchinson tires. As it sits it's 17.25# (with cages, pump and tool pack) in a 60cm.

The other pix is of the newest addition, an SS road rig. Pretty fun. Put it together last Friday and did 82 miles on it Saturday. Rides nice.

I love the new compact style

[rockracing]

I like the compact style (used to hace a TCR) cos it usually has a taller head tube, which helps with bar height without the use of a billion spcers, I ride a standard 50cm frame where the h/tube is so short you need a stack of spacers which still gives me a 4.5cm drop fron the saddle.

I think the giant's small was a little too radical, the Spec seems to have a little less severe slope, think the Giant hade a 53.5cm TT with a 44cm S/T, give me something with the same TT and and a 46 or 48cm S/T and it would be great.

Yes...I do ride this on the road - to and from the trail, about once a week on a nice local hilly road route too. Just can't afford more than one bike for me when I've got a stable of five more to maintain for the rest of the family!

It probably weighs twice what most of those sexy, sleek bikes do. Not to mention the drag of 2.5" wide tires inflated to about 40lbs. Not to mention a nice squishy front and rear suspension. I look at it this way...it just makes me that much stronger.

Can also sell it for 1800 with Mavic Cosmos or 1600 with no wheels

The frame has a small dent in the top tube from the handlebars hitting the frame during a crash. Other then that everything is in perfect shape. Email for pictures.

nope i race for them. i did a small internship there during the summer a couple of years ago and know all of the guys up there very well. they are way to small and i'm not fast enough on the road for them to realistically be able to afford giving me a road bike. it's all good, i understand their end and they understand mine. they know i'd buy one if i had the $$. i'd like to buy another cx bike though before i do that...

Nothing Special -- `98 Cannondale R200, 54cm CAAD2 frame, downtube shifters and 7-speed cassette (12-24). 52-39 chainrings and 170mm arms. I usually run older Ultegra pedals. Steering is pretty quick. Bought it new and wanted something that didn't grab attention or look outdated in 6 years. Good member of my commuter fleet. Just noticed today my sidewalls are getting hard and crusty...time for new tires! :mumble:

The "British racing" forest green with the tan bar tape give the bike a classic look. It would be even sweeter if you have a Brooks brown leather saddle.

I got the frame and almost a complete parts kit from two friends and ebayed some to replace with cooler stuff. It comes in at exactly 19lbs on a digital hanging scale without seatbag, pump, bottles (but with the cages!).

I'll probably end up replacing it, but I may not so I can be all smug when I start racing again next year and put the hurt on some guys with bikes that cost 5x as much!

It rides pretty well and doesn't hammer my back on rougher roads, climbs like a dream too!

:D I have gotten rid of the cheesy yellow stickers, but not the size one (yet) this is a picture from the day I got it. Man do I love that bike.

It is wireless. I haven't had much of a chance to use the CS200 on the road yet, I installed it the day after my last big ride, and immediately caught an upper respiratory infection, which I have just about kicked. I went on a group mountain bike roide Sunday and it just about killed me, I was up all night hacking and gagging.

The CS200 heart rate stuff seems rock solid, and the strap has a replacable battery, and a much softer strap, although the HRM is hard. I'm going to have to play with the cycle functions more before I make much of a comment about them. It seems to have quite a few features, but the way it's organized, and the selection for features, is quite different from my current computer.
