A new to us bike trailer, for the two kids.

I will no longer look like an unsuccessful bottle picker on my rides with the kids, my old trailer was in really rough shape.

Upgraded this winter.

Bontrager Aeolus 3 TLR wheelset (from the forum), setup with latex tubes and Corsa Control 28s, added the DT Swiss RWS skewers and Dura Ace Rotors to these

Swapped to a new Centaur Long Cage rear der, new shifters and grabbed a new CX70 top pull FD, new chain, new cassette, swapped all the cables. Thing shifts amazing with the full rebuild.

Added Paul Klampers, Campy Pull brakes, replaced some TRPs and the Klampers are great.

Lastly, picked up a setback Eriksen seatpost and trying an Ergon SR3 Ti saddle.

A few of these items were passed along through the Forum, so thanks all for the assistance.

Only thing I'm thinking of changing is a blacked out stem to replace the Ritchey Carbon stem




That stem will look baller on this rig!!

Picked up a set of 11s silver Athena brifters. Now looking for a set of Chorus/Record to swap the levers/blades.

Busy day. I sold a Litespeed Firenze this morning before my family was out of bed, and while traveling for business, I went 200 miles out of my way to pick up a Teramo.

Dang, it looks like the bike would be a tight fit in the Element anyway.

New Mike Lopez fork tuned to my weight for the Holland Exogrid Jet frame I'm building up. Matte nude to match the carbon bits of the frame.

Thanks merckman!

I purchased the frame used and it didn't come with a fork. It seemed only right to fit it with one which would have been an original option.

Phil Wood Components

I have been collecting these Phil Wood components for the last 5 months in preparation for a bike build. I still need to find a set of skewers.

Coco approves. When she saw me playing with my new toy she brought hers to join in the fun.
