The bike frame is an "HR Carbon" frame, beautifully crafted and finished in natural carbon and silver. The bike is brand new and in showroom condition. The frame size is 59cm and I measure the top tube at 58.4 cm. Includes a beautiful FSA carbon integrated headset and the fork is a "Look HSC 4" which has some of the nicest lines I've seen on a fork in long time.
The groupo is Shimano Ultegra 10 speed with a triple crankset up front. The rear cassette is a 12-25. All drivetrain components, brakes, and shifter/brake levers are brand new Ultegra. Wheelset is Bontrager RaceLite with paired, bladed spokes, and silky smooth RaceLite hubs. Rear tire is a 700X23 "Continental GatorSkin Ultra", front tire is a 700X23 "Avocet MultiGrip Criterium SL K."
On the fit side, Stem is a 120 mm, 5 degree flip-flop Easton EA70, and the handlebar is an Easton EA70. I'm measuring it at 45 cm center to center. The fork has never been cut and had lots of spacers to work with if you like the handlebar up high. Seat post is a Bontrager Race Lite 72.2, Seat is a Bontrager "RaceLux."
The bike has been professionally assembled by one of the most respected shops in Silicon Valley and will be packaged and professionally shipped to you. If you live in the area, pick up may be arranged which will save you cost of packaging, shipping, and handling.
