fi'zi:k

After scouring the inter webs looking for the right saddle, i found one. A buddy of mine suggested that i get the Fizik arione wing flex saddle. Ive heard very good things about this saddle and after doing a little more research i ended up bidding on one from eBay. After a few days I ended up winning the saddle with a price tag of 47 bucks. This was a steal. It came with an almost brand new saddle and the box. I just got it in the mail today and I'm very satisfied with it being that it retails for around 200 bucks.

Misc parts.


For a while now i been wanting to get my hands on a Full Speed Ahead (FSA) chainring. The one i wanted was the FSA Pro Track chainring. While going through the for sale thread on lafixed I found the exact chainring that i wanted. I thought it was a steal, so i jumped on the deal. 52 tooth chainring the exact size i wanted for only 45 bucks. Thanks again josh for the chainring. Here are some pics from the seller. And i should be receiving the chainring in a few days 

     On a different note. my bike is almost complete and the only problem I have with this build is the crankset size issue. The cranks i wanted were the Sram omniums. I found alot of forums that say the ominiums dont fit my frame and i believe it because i had a crank set that i installed on the frame and it scrapes the chain stays. I dont know how im going to get this issue solved but for know im fine with the crank that i have managed to squeeze on.

Parts Update.

A few days ago i finally got my carbon fork in the mail. For 36 bucks i think its worth every penny. heres a pic with the fork along with the frame. im very excited that the build is coming to an end. oh ya i recenlty purchased the carbon seatpost. A shimano "pro" seatpost. Im currently waiting for that to arrive.
