Hydrolics, Discs and Electrics oh my..... Kiwi, I like the stopping power of the disc brakes; living with hills and all; but as you noted the cost of wheels with 130mm disc mounts isn't going to come down until they are UCI legal for several years. Probably not a bad thing though; while...

travel quick release Eric, This might do it. http://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Racks-T970-Block-Bicycle/dp/B000QJC5F8/ref=pd_sim_sg_3 We use to mount these too 2x4 boards to haul 4 bikes in the bed of a pickup trick. Aka the cheapest bike rack ever. But this should suffice for...

Invert the bullhorns with brifters John: That Brifters comment makes me curious. I wonder what sort of arm geometry you would end up with (I'm no engineer ).....; If the Bullhorns were turned up side down for installation, and then cut off just past the curve in the bar; with...

Eric you really need a nice Eric you really need a nice set of A23's in yellow from a nice custom shop. http://www.wheelbuilder.com/custom-velocity-road-heels/ Just need John to tell us what the panatone yellow is on the bike so we can figure out if Orange, Green or black is the best...

This release will be This release will be interesting. The Dura-Ace Di2 Brifters have been runing about a $300 premium OTC. If Shimano could bring Ultregra Di2 in the price range of Dura-Ace Mechanicals they might get people to bite. Otherwise only the Pros and the Freds will be riding...

BullHorn 11 speed compatible? So I am in the process quoting parts and I find a good deal on a SRAM Force22 Groupset if I can wait..... So the question is will the Bullhorn bar end shifters handle an 11 speed; or will the SRAM R2C Aero Bar End Shifters (11speed)? work with the cable...

Stage double take. Ohhhhh that is a nice improvement. I had read the original review but never doubled back to read the new on. I get respectible data from my PowerCal. I had written the Stages off as no better than the powercal perviously. You are already on my wife's short list for you...

narrowing in on a design Ok thanks for the help and indulgence I think I have settled in on a plan. Obviously this bike is going to be at its best without recycled parts. So I will go with the long game .....Time to work on the wife... :) Heres' the details of what I am thinking in case...

X9 Cage Length Which cage length; the build thread does not say? So you mixed a road crankset and a mtb cassette and derailer. It all fits and shifts smooth?

Air Cushions John: That is exactly the kind thinking that is drawing me to you engineering. Something simple like that could turn our to be worth every penny to stay supplied in them for someone like me. The ever rising popularity of chip seal in this area is driving me to consider the...

Good Catch on the triple - Anyone tried the SRAM WiFLi 11-32 Eric, Thanks for the catch on the triple the 105 would have needed a shave to fit. I do have and older Truvativ Elita triple with GPX that I dug out of storage. It looks like it will work without modification and that is about...

Good news about the bullhorn option Eric, I did not catch that on the bullhorn kit so +1 on that front thanks for noting that. Chains should not a a problem I have a CatTrike700 so I have ummm a fair amount of chain on hand :) The triple is only has a granny of a 30T but I will be sure to...

Sorry this will probably be mundane and indulgent..... I have finally made the decision to invest in a Vendetta, assuming the bike will have me :) I crashed out my DF several year ago resulting a next injury that precludes safe riding head-first even if I could stomach the neck pain...
