From Hampco Towers. Construction by Peter Graham. Paint by Curt Goodrich. Build by Fairwheel Bikes.

Last November, we were burglarized. Thieves took all my wife's jewelry and my Look 585. Steve Hampsten had designed me a magnificent Strada Bianca a few years ago. When I learned that he was building in carbon, I sent him a Look geometry chart and asked him if he could meld the Look's geo with the contact points of my Strada Bianca.
Today, my frame arrived. The frame is of to Fairwheel for a build tomorrow, hope to be riding this weekend.

So how are you liking them ?

Slight thread hijack: Here's my Hampco carbon (in slurpee paint). I've been slowly dialing in the fit by lowering the bars, changing to a Thompson stem and generally tweaking things and it's just a stellar bike. Right now it's got Shamal Milles with 28mm Corsas and it'll go anywhere. Also has a Potenza RD and an 11-32 cassette because I was going to take it to Mallorca (took a different bike).

Enjoy that Hampco!

That bike should keep you out of the broom wagon..

Looking forward to seeing that one in full and built out - I've been admiring Sarto frames and trying to learn more where I can..

Bought some Fizik R1B, the new model, from a member on here.

They should be here in a few days hoping they fit as good as they look.
