My new bike!!!

View of the front.

I traded my Felt for this bike. Well, traded my bike plus some money. I had all the components for another bike frame I'm having painted but decided to put them on this sweet frame instead. I'm going to go ride in a few minutes. 😀

BTW-It weighs 16.8 lbs with the bottle cages.

I'm not at the point of shaving my legs yet. I do look hot in spandex though. 😉

Just got back from my morning ride. I wish I could have gone longer but I had to get home to play Mr. Mom while my wife is off selling houses. I only got in 2 hours on the bike. 🙁
 
How much weight does the carbon stuff actually save? I bet less than chopping off your pinkies and getting a haircut. Or how about this, how much weight as a percentage of the total bke + you weight?

I didn't buy it because I'm a weight weenie. I bought it because I got a killer deal on it. The bike is used and the guy who sold it needed the money so I win. I wasn't really in the market for another bike but I just couldn't pass this up. I didn't even pay half what it would cost to replace it

Even though the bike is only 1 lbs lighter than my previous ride there is a noticeable difference in ride qualities. This bike just accelerates quicker and climbing is noticeably easier.

I obviously weigh the same but losing 1lbs on a bike like this does make a difference.

Really? Isn't your Bianchi carbon?

Just the fork. The frame is all alu.

Ah, those are very stiff. Mine is all carbon tubes with aluminum lugs. It feels much stiffer than the aluminum Felt F65 this bike replaced.
