In my opinion it is just awesome.
It looks great and for flat tracks it should be a great ride. How heavy are you?

[eliflap]

i weight 75 kg

close to the top limit for ZTR7000 wheelset ...

i did anodization for rear shock linkage and fork lockout lever

a swedish engineer did the titanium rings

i sanded by hand the frame

a german guy did the adapter for lefty fork with the 1 and 1/8 top

a belgian guy sold me the saddle

88+ belgium did the fork tuning

Vertical engineering from Spain did the fron lefty hub


an international production ...

to challenge on the BOTY2009

[benjamin]

Great work.
You italian guys make interesting bikeprojects with individual ideas
like your fork solution or the italy version of the sauser epic replica from Luca.
Fantastico.
From Milano?
(Forza inter :D)

[eliflap]

:daumen: sorry but i live in Milan but i'm from Florence , so i love Fiorentina not Inter ....

Nice bikes.
Interesting that you and your friends have projects with US bikes.
Didn`t you like your italian products like FRM,Bianchi or Extralite?
I´m a fan of Sergio Rivas Extralite bikes

[eliflap]

at that date we had from italian companies :

fuel110 :extralite hubs and rings , formula brakes , campagnolo record front derailleur;

me: event tubolar lefty wheelset , campagnolo record front derailleur

belabianchi : none ...

now i have on my 2009 bike:

extralite hub at rear , UL3 stem, FRM brakes , carbon ti rotors ...

personally i love extralite hub , not so the frames

since 2002 riding a Cannondale . till my death .

[benjamin]

FRM breaks!
Have you the same problem that the levers have to much tolerance?
This week i made new bolts to minimal the levershake

[eliflap]

yes lever are a little too far from handle bar

look here in italy how we solved

http://www.light-bikes.it/forum/index.php?topic=4904.msg72588#msg72588

[benjamin]

Ok i understand, but i mean the tolerance between the leverbolt (the black one)and the bushing.

Other idea for you.
3726
3727
Carbonlevers and carbon covers for the pansion tank.
Both selfmade and they are totally 15 gr lighter and in my opinion
they look more beautiful

[Fuchs]

ojojoj that cannondale is just amazing. i really love it!

Lefty OPI 2009

[Joger]

Hello,
can you say me from which components the porch passes? Would also obstruct with pleasure a Schmolke, however, the clamping is too big. A photo would be great.

not understand sorry :confused:

[benjamin]

Der hat die Bremsanlage getauscht von FRM auf Formula,
allerdings steig ich auch nicht dahinter was diese Gewichtsangabe beschreibt

[Joger]

Wollte eigentlich nur wissen was für ein Vorbau das ist.
Denn einer von Cannondale ist es nicht. Eigenbau ?

[Mr.Tee]

Extralite UL3. :) Die Gabel hat nen neuen Schaft.

[Joger]

da Frag ich mich doch ob der Schaft nur eine einfache Stange ist. Da sollte dran zu kommen sein.Fragt sich nur welches Material.
Kennt sich da einer aus.
Ich glaub der original Cannondale Vorbau Si wiegt so um die 268 gr.
Lohnt sich das überhaupt vom Gewicht ?

das lohnt sich vom gewicht, sonst hätte er es nicht gemacht, ich kenn mich da aus, denn er hats von mir. eine einfache stange ist das auch nicht, das ist ein cnc gedrehtes rohr aus 7075t6 alu.

[Joger]

Da fallen mir sofort ganz viele Fragen ein:

Was willst du denn für so ein Rohr haben?
Hast du ihm das auch eloxiert?
Weisst du auch noch das Gewicht?
Kannst mir auch eine Nachricht wegen dem Preis schicken :)

[eliflap]

write in english please ... this is english section ...

when i can not translate everything from German to Italian to understand

[Joger]

Will auch den Vorbau haben :(
Da hol ich aus meinem Cannondale Ultimate noch einiges raus.
Naja die vorderen Kettenblätter sehen mir nicht sehr vertrauenserweckend aus. Da bleib ich lieber bei meinen Carbon Ti.

it's the airfilter under the tube?

[eliflap]

removed boot 42 g

removed air filter 12 g

installed tube 20 g , laying foam in place , now under tube

1130 g

[Scalty]

1130 g

have you little holes on foam place? when not then foam is needless i think.

[eliflap]

yes laterally done little holes

[Scalty]

yes laterally done little holes
have you tried without holes?
i could work, because air goes under tube and back.

[eliflap]

42-27 in titanium

103 g

[mete]

Shifting is impossible, is'nt it?

[eliflap]

why not ?

[mete]

why not ?

No upshift or downshift segments?

[eliflap]

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3184/29052009013.jpg

installed and done 40 km

[eliflap]

No upshift or downshift segments?

no no shifting ramps ... it works :daumen::daumen:

[mete]

no no shifting ramps ... it works :daumen::daumen:

Well, old roadracebikes had no ramps as well and it worked...but the way they did was not very well. What about the use under MTB-conditions, shifting under load, mud, rain? I cannot imagine the shift behaviour to be very satisfying especially when You try upshifting.

[eliflap]

i used other rings in 42.29 for 800-900 km from february with no issues ....

maybe a 0,01 second less or more to shift makes the difference ... but it's only a 0,01 second ...

i preferer to have a ring one only in the world that a 0,01 fast ...

i'm not M.A. Fontana ...

[snackyben]

Hi eliflap nice bike , i like the sanded effect , now you can see the carbon part.
Question , what brand are the chainrings , not FRM ??

Hello Benjamin, I`m Sergio`s fan as well. I like Extralite products.
My projects are on www.custombikesbuilding.com
I`m focusing on airbrush :)

[benjamin]

The Epic has a nice paintjob:daumen:

[cbb]

Thanks. This was my first airbrush tuning. Following this frame I made airbrush of my helmet (look in "project" section at the bottom).
