Battlefield Visit - a.k.a. 1st Road Ride 2010

 

  

  

 

Vicious Cycles Electric Warrior

It's built.

I still need to swap out some parts - crankset (currently it's an improper mountain set, the chainline is outboard way too much), stem (a real 73 degree 100 mm road stem), seatpost (a shorter Thomson), track end chain tugs (the Surly is just overkill for this), and maybe gearing (right now is 44-15, will try 44-16 later), but the bike is rideable as is, and quite comfortable. I really love the bullhorn bars and the TT brake levers.

17 lb with pedals. All black and white so I added in one red chainring bolt so it doesn't look like a 1930 movie.
