It’s 19lbs dripping wet. I finally got it built, just in time to ride in the rain for a SST workout today. I was amazed that I was getting similar speeds for a given power despite a) the tires, b) the extra weight, and c) the wet conditions. The bike felt very nice but I’ve never ridden a bike with such different geometry before and the stability was really strange. It resited turning into corners; I had to really fight it at times.
I’ll see how my collarbone is doing at a checkup on Monday, and if its looking good I may try a cross race this season after all.
Oooo…Nice. Definitely try a race. It’s weird to get used to, but pretty soon you find that it’s a pretty comfortable setup and you can do a lot of stuff with it. The geometry becomes nice at low speeds – usual race speed.
