Yeah but we have the other frames on the the trainers to cause plenty of pain so there already crying occurring. What I'm really worried about is full group sets ship first; so since we didn't get the cranks what will the delay be? June? July? September?

Gary Sweep OS, is the widest I've had in my hands by a lot but I don't have any in house right now, Joe should be able to measure Rog's bars and chime in. MD2 - 490mm at the Brifters mount point, 510mm at the end of the drops. (Rough measures) if you give me a picture of the exact measure you...

I like to think of it as a $220 set with most of the funds allocated to the important and most used brake. :confused:

Kline the TriRig is sold individually so it's really expensive for one. Rear brakes are easy to score on Ebay even though they are sold as pairs normally. I got my Ultegra 6700 rears for $35 each which helped offset the cost of the TriRig units. Unc99, if you or anyone else can find another...

At this point in the diary we are going to have to take a break. Next up is installing the SRAM RED E-tap wireless derailleur system. These are new this year and currently on back-order. We have the order in and our spot in the queue. Now we are waiting for them to ship. Estimates place that...

For this build we are using a TriRig Omega X front brake. The aero benefits of this brake most likely don't matter on the Vendetta since it's down in the leg wash. However it's a really cool looking brake, and it has less left and right size than a standard caliper brake; and it's center pull...

Ok now to back up and cover another topic specific to smaller riders. Those riders that are smaller of stature or lacking an aero belling might find the default boom configuration to be too high. When that is the case you can cut your fork stem to lower the boom and handle bars. The stock fork...

Installing the cranks is a pretty straight forward step that I normally don't document. But This time we are adding Rotor Cranks. These use the 24mm straight through Shimano like system. Since these are a little tricky to install on a Vendetta we'll document it this time around. We are using...

Now that the frame is together; it's time to get the seat ready for install on the bike. One of the nicer touches with the new include parts is the inclusion of the correct bolts and nuts for installing two water bottle under the seat. For this build we are going to install our Aero bottles...

Second bike is now assembled. Should be updating the diary with the cutting of the fork stem process and the installation of water bottles, and some details for the rotor cranks. In the mean time to her's Mrs. Ratz new toy so far.

Which bars are those?

You are a strong candidate for the chainstay extension.

Can't wait for these to ship to finish up the build; and now I'm really excited to get going on this.

Ok as for those cable parts. The frame rub protector goes over the rear brake cable and is used where the brakes cable leaves the boom area and go down and into the the body of the frame. When you turn the boom to extremes that brake cable will contact the frame and wear down the paint. When...

Saturday is wrench day!!! Email support@cruzbike.com about the missing hex head screw. My guess is Robert will immediately hook you up; that's a critical bolt you really can't afford to use an almost match. It's metric, If you got lucky enough to find one in stock anywhere the rest of us would...

Usually it is stamped in the metal under the Bottom Bracket

Unseen 3 feet to the left of the video is an old mattress against the wall for Eric to crash into.

Slim, I can't finish until he ships my mallet back to me.

Install the handle bars into the clamps at the end of the slider. Only snug the bolts. We now have an assembled frame that is ready for the drive train installation. We'll come back to handlebars after the bike is fully assembled to compare several different options for the bars.

Put the rear wheel into frame and fasten the quick-release and spin it really really fast... (you know you want to) Install the front wheel, and verify that the cassette clears the fork. Check the front tire clearance These are 23c tires, 25c will fit fine; 28c is going to get tight...
