DAMN @ Spoke what a bike room and setup!

You guys are working on grail bikes while I'm trying to give mouth2mouth to Frankenstein over here.

I also grabbed a PMP Carbon post, and some Shamal Milles (debadged, as well). I will probably also switch out the RH32's with some Vittoria 30's. I am looking forward to putting it all together and giving it a go.

I'll keep you posted on the rest of the kit. Most of my fleet is getting re-arranged this winter. I haven't quite settled on what is going where, but things will certainly be moving along in the next couple months.

I appreciate your discretion, Mr Velocipede.

Absolutely. I don't need to be specific about everyones business.

Being the cheap SOB that I am, I built something similar to those racks out of 2x4s and plywood. Similar shaped arms: cut holes on each end with a hole saw, then cut the board in half length-wise, then radius the ends. Screw em to the 2x4 and put dead socks on the ends so the frames don't get scratched.

The pics I posted earlier I believe are the first ones I’ve posted of the upstairs of the new bike room (machine shop down stairs). Still getting things sorted out regarding layout. The racks may end up back upstairs in the house but not sure yet. I need a different storage/rack system. May have to make one......

New wheels were built by my LBS today. I installed a new e-thirteen 9-34 cassette, 1.95 S-works Renegade rfont , 1.8 Renegade control rear and swapped out my front ring for a 32t oval on my Warbird for some winter fun.

Wheels are Lyphe carbon laced to Absolute Black hubs. They built up into a nice set of wheels IMO.

This is the counter to my rant about the gravelification of the industry - you're actually using the bike for what it's designed for - and that's awesome.. Looking forward to more pics of it in the wild.

Cool! Looks like a fun project. Maybe it's just the light, but the red looks more burgundy than the typical red that you see on the Motorola Team bikes.

Yes good eye, it’s Candy Apple red, I just had it repainted as it has a really bad paint job previously (was painted white, but was an original Motorola team bike).
