Litespeed Capella
Capella's compact frame geometry and LiteTEC titanium-enhanced carbon seatstays offer a premier blend of stiffness, vertical compliance and speed that leaves lesser bikes struggling to keep pace.
The frame came in at 1274g with water bottle bolts and seat clamp.
The fork uncut with crown race was 562g
Not the lighest frame, but it won'r be weight weenie bike just yet due to the new baby coming, I need to save cash.
Here is the parts List:
Deda 210 Bars and tape
Syntace F99 260 90mm
Canê Creek Intergrated headset
FSA Carbon Plug
Sette Carbon Post 27.2 x 250mm
2003 Ultegra Shifters
Shîmano 105 F&R derailleurs and brakes
SRÂM PG-970 12-23 cassette 9spd
SRÂM PC-89 HP chain
Shîmano 105 Crank arms with FSA 50/42T chainrings with Carbon Pro cranks coming
Ultegra PD-600 Pedals
105/DT Comp/Ambroiso wheels with FSA RD-400 as the next upgrade
Fizik Arione Saddle
It should ride sweet and I will have it built up by next weekend.
The frame is acutally really amazing looking and thos smooth perfect welds.
I thought of maybe putting on a Reynolds Ouzo Pro to save some weight, but it would take away from the beauty of the bike.
Down the road I will go with a full 05 Ultegra 10-spd or Campy Centaur drivetrain with FSA carbon pro cranks.
