Fuchs bike.....

[Fuchs]

the first ride for this year and it was really fun! but my body was not in it´s best shape

the bike was real nice to drive. of course there are one or two things to work over but all together it was just fun!

Feels nice to get back on the bike - doesn't it?

[Fuchs]

yes it was real fun but in the beginnig it was kinda strange as i rode my motorcycle over the year. so the bike feels small in a way and i felt naked without all that motorcycle protection on me

[pritchet74]

Feels good to go naked every once and a while, eh? Just sayin'.

every night - maybe I should have saved that for a PM

A bit too much information already but as long as you keep the pictures for the pm's we'll manage

Bike looks great Fuchs! So do the surroundings, love rides like that

[Fibre-Lyte]

Just a 'bit' too much information? As for the pictures in the pm's, as long as it's just between you few and none head my way that will be fine!

The bike looks great Fuchs

[Fuchs]

Thanks guy's! By the way,the chainring works fine
I just tuned it a bit, softened the lines as they looked a bit to hard to fit on my bike. shaved 3g as well

The bike is still looking great. I must confess that I'm a bit curious about that drop of your's. I'm might need to head your way just to check out what the bike looks like with the rider on it.

[Fibre-Lyte]

I'm curious about that drop too, but I've never been very flexible

[pritchet74]

Drop looks great to me. I wish I could get my front end that low.

[Fuchs]

thanks gys
i like the drop, actually the front is ca 2-3mm to high right now as the front tire is an veloflex record wich builds a bit bigger as the veloflex servizio corse at the back.
thought to try the record as it should weigh around 35g less then the other one but ´this one came in with more then 20g to much and the back tire came with 7g less
next time it will be just the servizio corse on both wheels.

here is the partlist...

haven't done that much to the bike as i use my freetime for other stuff right now.

but in december i made an "isp". will say i build the seatpost-combination together with the frame. now the frame-seatpost-saddel is one part.

in the end it is exactly the same weight like before with the clamp
but now i can change so that the brakewire goes completly inside the frame and will come out between the seatstays.
then, with an homebuild carbonbrake i'm thinking about, i can skip the wirehousing at this point. that and an shorter wire will save around 10g plus the special brake wich i count 45g for and would save around 30g.

Wow. That just looks so clean!! I love it!

Also, I am shocked that it isn't covered in snow over there in Sweden. That's a recent photo?

[Fuchs]

it is from last month but there is almost no snow.
this winter is really odd...
was out with my kayak the last days for example. just a bit icy
