New for the winter (well I got it in August actually)
Moda Legato in Black. Mavic Cosmic S wheels with 32mm Goodyear Eagle tyres. Tubeless. 160mm rotors.
Groupset: Shimano 105 Di2 12 speed with 170mm cranks, 50/34 and 11-34 Cassette
Moda carbon bar and Deda stem. Bar tape black with silver.
Seatpost – moda carbon with SLR Superflow saddle
Pedals: Shimano 105 R7000 SPD-SL. Since relaced with Garmin Rally single side.
My take on a winter road/touring and mostly commuter setup. Now with some 38mm deep, 25mm internal wheels recently built up on some old Hope hubs to seat 35c tyres.
Visiting NM and AZ this week and getting a few rides in. Loving the hills that I don’t get on the gulf coast. One ride had about 1600’ in the first 12 miles and the other had 2300’ in around 18 miles. My normal 60 mile route back home has 1600’ of very very small punchy climbs.
This is the Kona Super Jake I’ve been sitting on since I last raced cross. I never built this up, but with Kona’s recent changes and after a hard look at the geometry charts, I’m pretty happy to put it back in service with Ekar and Ekar GT. Those are Hunt Gravel 35s for the bike-to-tire interface. I have been using the Favero Pro MX2 pedals for power since I ride Campy. (excuse the wonky pic, I had JUST finished the rough build here, I’ll post a better pic later.)
On the stand is my real retirement gift, it’s a '24 Time ADH with Chorus, Hunt 4454 Aerodynamicist wheels, and Favero Assioma Duo pedals. I’m still finishing the build-up here; I will repost when she sits on her wheels properly. I have a set of Campy Shamal carbons that I may use as well, or I may put those on my son’s bike. Time will tell.
As the Time started to come together, and I test fit parts, I realized just how good the metallic pink frame is going to look with the all black acoutremont, and I’m stoked to get it the rest of the way built up.
UK spec winter, built this up with a Dolan CF frame with mudguard eyes, a repurposed DA9000 group set, Favero Duo Shi’s and old Mavic RSys wheels with GP5000 AS tyres (TPU tubes)
