Meet one of my current rides. Yes, I know I'm a spoiled brat, but when you are running a bike company, you can be one too...
Built up with SRAM Rival parts, it's a fun rig.
Full monocoque with a good length top tube; this 61cm size has a 59.8-ish top tube. I like to be stretched out.
The bike really has become more of a platform for the SRAM parts on it. The frame is a prototype and the program got shelved.
With the relative success of the 3VC carbon bikes, we opted not to run a monocoque frame- the 3VC is lugged and rides like a dream.
With this bike, I am lucky enough to have one of everything; Shimano Dura Ace, Campagnolo Record and SRAM Rival (I've been begging for a Force group... but so far I'm still at the back of the bus).(Editor's Note; I forgot to mention that the darn thing weighs just a hair less than 17 pounds- like 16.8 lbs.)
I'm a lucky idiot... I know.
Happy Friday,
Tim

Are all your prototypes 60cm?
Beautiful! And the fact that it says "prototype" makes it that much cooler. If that was possible.
Can I get a part time job with you so I can get be part of the test programs?
This bus you say you are on, is it a short bus, and are you wearing a helmet?
Which brings the rider and bike weight package to.......?
Another nice rig from Masi. And yes, I do like the force gruppo.
Nice whip. If you need to donate that to someone with a 38.5in inseam...give it to 'The Goodwill' or at least sell it to me, ha!
