Story behind this is, right cable adjuster on the frame is frozen and didn't want to risk breaking it clean off so i added the inline adjuster. The adjustments near the cockpit are so you can make adjustments to the derailleurs while riding the bike.

Re: The 22mm gatorskins are a little harsh, but they will be gone soon. When i had 28's on there it was like a cloud.

What i want it to look like

Just picked up my first road bike. Full campy veloce and campy wheels and a USA made CAAD8 frame. Came in at 18 lbs 6 oz. with no pedals. I'm going to have the frame media blasted then sand and polish most likely. The 2nd bike is inspiration for this.

It seems we have the same taste in bikes. I'm considering selling my Litespeed Lookout Mtn. for a more enduro oriented rig and I've loved the Orange five since I saw this vid on vitalmtb. Oranges are pretty rare here in the states though :( Will probably end up with a Santa Cruz Heckler or a...
