The what did the postman bring today thread.

I agree half the logos would be enough but boy, what a bike.


Direct from the LBS parking lot, because water bottle cages are so 2014. Full report soon.

[Tamu8104]

Damn, damn, damn. I'm not normally a big fan of fades but that bike looks NICE. I do agree with Lionel, it's begging for blacked out wheels.

Thomas, I'm very curious about those cageless bottles. Could be a great option for a CX bike when riding cools downs or midweek training rides.

[mmoore]

Unreal.

PS - If anyone wants a ride, there's enough extra room on the hoods for you to grab a seat. :)

PPS - Photos do not capture the paint. It's even more awesome-er in person.

imagine this with some of those pink FMB team tubulars lol.

Yeah I bought the two blue bottles for the festka but I took the black one with training/warmup CX in mind. I hate carrying a bottle in the jersey.

Chainstay length determines max tire size stops at USH. I assume that plus 35 was not considered? Will we see this machine at D2?

It'll definitely fit bigger than 35s. Nate designed it around 40s as a max and looking at it in person there's plenty of room for 38s, which is what I figure I'd use for rides like D2. And I'm really hoping I can make it this year with this bike.

Something sweet should be landing soon...

a green jacket?

Yup. I'm really good at doing* golf.

*That's the correct verb, right?

[dashDustin]

Please tell us the brakes don't squeal!

Those are Ashima rotors?

How long is the seatpost?

[Matthew Strongin]

Yup. Ashima/Origin8 or whatever they're called. They're silent and braking feels awesome.

The seatpost is a nub. I didn't measure but there's definitely enough room for a centimeter or more adjustment up from where it's at now with plenty extending down into the mast.

Very nice. Too many logos on the wheels, detracts a bit from the awesome frame !

That's always been my feeling about Boyd wheels. I'm sure they're a great product and I get that he has to get his name out there, but the branding is a bit much for my tastes and the logos are baked into the rims and would require some effort to remove.

Those are laser etched actually, so they're not coming off. The carbon rims have the decals under the clear. Super durable! But if they're too much for you, you're out of luck.

Really? The description on the site for their 2016 alu. wheels reads:

Updated graphics

The past couple years we have been laser etching the logos on the Altamont. While laser etching certainly does give a unique finish, we were limited to only an off white metallic color. We now have a water transfer decal, baked into the rim. We are able to offer a nice mix of pop and stealth to the new Altamont Lites. Light gray (semi stealth) logos display on the side of each rim, with a white, newly revised, Altamont Lite logo at the valve.

Hello...

I forgot to sign up for mine, they refused to send me one actually, when I sent them an email. Too bad, as that looks kind of cool.

[Matthew Strongin]

A Withings Smart Body Analyzer scale showed up today. Super easy to set up for me and my wife. As far as scales go, it's pretty cool.

I also got a mount and adapter to attach my L&M urban headlight to the underside of my barfly garmin mount. It'll be cool to clean up the bars a bit.

Do these fit the original Urban 500, by any chance? Would love to do the same...

I wonder.

Probably. Here's a link to the mount: Urban GoPro Mount - Light & Motion
