That's it!! Let me know if you can find them.
Ooh. I think I know which one you're talking about. Is it this one? If so, I may still have one floating around. I think I still have a couple different Bontragers, as they were the ones that worked best for me, prior to finding the SMP. Let me know and I'd pass them along to you for dirt cheap if I can find them.

I have a frame!! Complete bike has to wait until Shimano Di2 production can catch up...so far everything they're putting out is going on stock bikes for the big manufacturers. Custom and aftermarket stuff has to wait. Might be another month or longer...

Love it. She is a beaut. Di2 eh? I want to try that but I'm not sure the pocket book is up to the challenge...
Just because I look dumb doesn't mean I'm not...
I could live without Di2, but my right wrist/hand hasn't been anywhere near 100% functional since I busted it nearly 2 years ago. Di2 will be really nice on longer rides when I start to really lose grip and finger strength.
Went to visit my Ti baby this AM when we were at the shop for a ride.

Ooooo, that's pretty! I'm diggin' the green accents too. When is the full build supposed to be done?
Running is dumb.
In a month if I'm very lucky! So impatient!
Screw waiting for a month.
Set up single speed and start riding it now. Who knows, you may never go back to gears.
Swapped the stock tires for 28c gator skins. Put on a Specialized Ruby saddle for a while, but I couldn't get comfortable on it. Back goes on the old saddle from my mountain bike. Saddle woes. The bike rides like a dream though -- I have about 750 miles on it. I'm digging the SRAM now.
Pretty interesting design
The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

While this would be tempting, I don't know if there's an easy way to do this with the set-up. My bike will have Shimano hydro disc brakes and Di2 and the frame was built around that end. Not sure it can easily be converted for SS and it would mean buying separate brakes/levers in the short term.
Got some fun mail from Seven.
Looks so uncomfortable, though!
I still think that's one of the coolest bikes ever.
I was also not a fan of the Ruby saddle. Really the only saddles that haven't caused me near constant woe are the SMP ones (the Drakon is my favorite). Not cheap, but worth every penny to not draw blood on rides.
That's a damn sexy bike, zoomy!
