* SRAM Force 10 speed is really crisp and accurate, although I haven't got the front derailleur dialed in yet. The new Dura Ace 7850 SL wheels might be helping, but they're still alloy, so not that different than my old R500s. It's gotta be the frame, because I'm using the same width tires at the same pressure as my old bike.

Didn't think there would be that much difference, but there is. Accelerates and brakes quicker, rolls quicker, climbs faster, changes direction more easily. The head tube angle is the same, and I swapped the same stem from my old bike. Probably a result of fresh headset bearings and lower wheel weight, so less gyroscopic effect.

At first the steering felt very twitchy but I quickly got used to it. * Feels FAR more responsive compared to my old aluminum frame/carbon fork Trek 1200. Only took 3 months, but the bike is finally on the road - and I couldn't be happier. Weight as bought: 8500g +- 20g (18.74 lbs) on my cheapo eBay digital luggage scale + my Velo Orange superlight touring flat pedals Stem: Pazzaz 80mm 6 bolt 31.8mm clamp * too short for me and very twitchy steering Seatpost Rocky Mtn Aluminum 26.8 * wrong size, should be 27.2 Crankset FC-6500 175mm arms, 53-39 standard, some wear on big ring Wheels: Bontrager Race Lite alloy clinchers I'll post updates, photos, weights, and budget as the project progresses.ĥ200 OCLV 120 Carbon Frame, Nude Pearl/Baja Blue (Team) 56cm So, here's the starting point for this build thread. Plus, I just really like wrenching on my bikes. From what I've researched, it shouldn't be too hard to get it near the UCI weight limit for a very reasonable amount of money. It's going to be a lot of work but the end result will be a one of a kind with every part selected deliberately.

Plus I live in an apartment and stripping chemicals are very hazardous and smelly.

I'm going to use the razor blade & scotch brite & wet sanding method, I don't trust paint stripping chemicals on a carbon frame bike. If it's ugly I'll shoot it black instead of clear - at least that will mean less prep work. From what I've read, the carbon layup can vary greatly from bike to bike, so I'll see what's under the paint. The plan is to completely strip the bike down to bare carbon, sell off any parts that are worth selling, and build it up from scratch. I love projects and this is going to be a good one. Want to skip the build journal and see the final result? Just click here Purely by coincidence it was the same guy that I bought my Trek 1200 road bike from last year I took it as a good omen. Turns out the frame was the right size for me (56 cm), condition was as expected (pretty rough), so after a bit of negotiating we agreed on a price we could both be happy with. I wasn't really planning on buying another bike so soon after my Felt F1X purchase, but since it was so close, I figured I might as well have a look. Seeing bikes in person and avoiding cross-border shipping is always good, I haven't had the greatest experiences with Canada Post lately. Inspired by a build on Weight Weenies, I was browsing eBay last night for old lugged carbon frames and came across a complete 2004 Trek 5200 for sale in my neighborhood.
