isaac force - my dreambike!

[Simon BP]

Thanks!
Sounds very nice! I'll bet it will look great on your Bianchi too !

Are you the owner of Fibre-lyte??

I guess he missed this one, so I'll answer for him:

Nope.

He does work for them though.

[Simon BP]

okay. Nice job!

I never became realy happy for the Cosmic Carbones, so I have bught a set of Eurus instead, and they are much better i think

That's one clean build.
One question - why did you choose the Force? Both the Force and the Sonic are sensational looking bikes.

I have been an eliteswimmer untill about two years ago. I had always wanted to get a racingbike. When I stopped at swimming, and got the time for a racingbike, then I bought an Esperia Racing 5100. It was way too large for me, and with rubish Xenon gears, so I hardly road it. I sold that one, determined to get hold of a quality bike. When i was searching the internet, I saw an isaac Pascal frame for sale, and tought 'Damn that is a nice looking frame!' and then i searched on google on 'isaac' and a picture of the isaac force came up. that was love at first sight! I searched some more on the isaac force, and found out that it was an quite expensive frame, so I didn't think I would ever get one. (I also looked at the ofter isaac models, but it was the force that caught my eye.) I bought the Pascal frame, but as I didn't know much about racingbikes at the time, I didn't realise that a size 58cm was way too large for me. But i bought the Pascal frame, and started tracking down parts on the internet for it. To start with I wanted Ultegra, as I had read that that schould give the bedst value-for-money(which it probably also does). But Ultegra quickly became Dura Ace, and Dura Ace quickly became Record, when I was offered the crankset, rearderailleur and front derailleur(which is on my bike today) for a very cheap cost. Then one day a guy contacted me and said that me had seen my build-topic with my isaac Pascal, and he had read that my dreamframe was a isaac force, and well, he had exactly such a frameset for sale if I was interested. The frame had a crack in the downtube near the crank because of a little accident while strapped on top of a car. I went to my local bikemechanic and asked for advise. It was then that I found out that the pascal frame was way too large, and that that force frame I was offered, was the exact right size. I contacted the guy with the force frame again. it was nearly sold right infront of me, but I was very very lucky that the guy wasn't in desperate need of money, so we agreed on a pay-off deal. A month later I had payed all the money, and I receaved the frame. Good God I was a happy little kid! and it was then I desided, that now i have my dream frame, then I am gonna bould my dream bike! No compromises! I have bought and sold a lot of parts just to find the exact right parts for this bike(and I am not finnish yet) and when I find a part i want, then I save money untill I can affoard it! in total it has taken about 1½ year to complete this build, and as i said before, it is still not finished.

The crack in the frame has been fixed by a pro who usualy makes carbon masts for hig-performance sailboats.

I have looked at the Impulse and Sonic also, but I like the design of the force better!

(EDIT: i have lengthend the story a bit, as the first time i wrote it I was in a hurry and didn't describe the story so well)
