finally...

the bike is finally ready

i will post a movie of how it came what it is

this is how it looks and what it weights. at 8.8kg i did not make any compromises regarding rigidity and strength.

i am still testing with the position of the stem and handlebars, therefore the fork steerer is not cut yet

as a general impression after a few km's the only things i don't like are the nobus and the kmc chain. the chain was already replaced in the pictures , the nobus will be replaced next week with sachs quartz grip shifters

the german a fork and the softail are fantastic. the rotor crankset although it has developed a small play that was sorted out, feel very "round". when you pedal you have the feeling that the torque is linear , unlike normal round chainrings

don't forget this frame has the steepest, shortest most rigid and sexyes looking back triangle on the market, as Mr Paduano recently told me!
