Delayed by a hurricane but finally delivered

Yes, hurricane Ian did untold damage to Florida and many people will be digging out of this disaster for some time. One of the minor casualties of this storm could have been this bike but fortunately it made it to its new home after a delay as UPS was shut down in the area for a number of days.

I did not get a full array of photos before sending this bike so the owner kindly provided these shots after building it up. This was only complete build # 2 for the year as parts have been in really short supply. With luck this will not be the case in 2023.

As you can see, this is a mechanical shift Sram hydraulic group with Boyd wheels. There are some Time pedals , Easton stem and seatpost and a set of FSA carbon bars. Its a nice build at about 19 lb. 9 oz. 
 

WCCX frame going to Washington DC.

If you look at the BB shell you'll see if is a PF-30. This will allow the use of a Squid EBB for single speed use. The advantage of doing it this way is to keep the dropout area of the frame simple and rigid. 

This frame will be set up single speed most of the time but can easily be converted to run a 1X geared setup with Sram wireless. I put a large port in the BB shell just in case the owner decides to run Shimano Di II. I did not drill the Di II holes, though. Those can be added at a later date.

This is part of a small batch that will be my final aluminum run of 2022. 
 

7005 WCCX frame for a team mate who has moved east

She may be a few thousand miles away but she will be representing Santa Cruz on this frame.

I'm sure that she will run into other lobster riders in N.C.  There's a whole  group of them in the Asheville area.

 

7005 WCCX frame going to Pa.

Although you can't see it in the photo, this color has a fine metallic. The frame is mated to an Enve G-series fork with 50 mm rake to match the geometry of this small frame. I think the frame is barely 3 lbs.

The silver decals were a good choice-I matched up the seat collar and rear der. hanger to complete the look.
 

7005 CX going to Oak Park, Il.

This one has three bottle mounts and the top tube mounts are for a small bag. There's a lot of gravel roads out in the midwest and that makes for perfect riding for a bike like this.

 

Steel big tire CX going to Fairfax, Calif.

That's right- this one is going to where the whole MTB thing supposedly started in the '70's.

 

7005 disc road frame going to San Jose, Calif.

I had to photograph this one in the sun to capture the depth of the paint color.....not sure that I did but indoors this frame almost looks black.

this is a very dark translucent red with black decals that you can't really see except in direct sunlight.

This is a stiff racing frame meant for the bay area criterium circuit but put some 700x28 tires on it and you can ride it all day. It will be paired to an Enve road/disc fork.
