Nice to see it built up. Saw the back of the frame when you brought
it in to Hiawatha last Saturday. That's a really cool color. And
this from a guy who actually likes the stock color of his Atlantis.

I bought the ITM Selego. It weighed tons. Very heavy! I didn't even
try to install them after trying to slide them into my Nitto dirt
drop. The loop end was too tight to make it through the bar hole. I
sent them back for a refund. Did I mention the ITM bar is extremely
heavy? Shockingly heavy?
You're stoked. Nice bike.

The fender spacer for the fork was an interesting little project. I
had an OLD threadless stem from which I cut an approximately 1cm ring
from. I then scalloped the shape using a half-round file to match the
arc of the fender. I then finished the shape by wrapping progressively

That's a GREAT IDEA. So long as it were set high enough that one
could use the hole in the fork crown if needed it'd be secure and

Ken,
Don't worry about it. I was just as bad. After the morning social
ride (which ended up being 33 miles), wanted to head down to the
Cannon Valley trail for another 40 miles. That's why I didn't hang
around.
And yes, Hiawatha is a special bike shop. My only gripe is I didn't
discover it
Yes, I agree.
I have a 1996 Litespeed Vortex with, I'm guessing, 50 to 60,000 miles
on it. It has a brushed finish and except for some scratches on the decals
looks as good as the day I purchased it. That's another advantage of
titanium. I did replace the carbon fork just because I was
Thanks, Ken.
Curious what limits the ride distance with the non-drop bars?
Shoulders? Neck? Wrists?
I tried to place these bars in the proximity of their Noodle predecessor,
and enjoyed them for today's 40 miler. They also felt great following the
mile swim! The lats do a little rubber banding
Great pictures. I did a similar thing to my Selle An-Atomica, but
your handiwork much better. Pinching the edges really improves the
shape of the saddle; the modified Selle AA is my favorite by a good
margin.

I, too, have laced my S-A due to inner thigh interference. I found it

I have also had to trim the slot a little wider,

Then I guess I'm NOT the only Calfee owner on this board! It's
reassuring to hear that they can indeed hold up over the long term.
Calfee's about the only carbon bike I'd consider. Practically retro
compared to a Cervelo or such. The durability record looks pretty
good, probably
u-lock (rear wheel and frame), thick braided cable (front wheel w/
generator hub, Brooks saddle, Carradice rear bag, frame).
If I'm watching it through a window, right by the door (and it is
parked with 2 Sweetpeas and another Riv), I'm less fussy about where
the cable is going.
I still twitch,
