Annnnd ...

A custom cockpit solution I'm working on. Same concept as on current bike - use pursuit position, high-strength levers and mechanical formula, and friction shifting. In this mockup, everything is fully custom and scratch-built. There are a couple parts machined from 6061, a delrin shift lever, carbon levers, and a carbon bar/stem combo with nice thick 2.0mm walls on the stem area, going down to 1.5mm walls out on the handholds.

Total weight for entire cockpit and all hardware ... 262g. An additional shifter could be added to the NDS lever at any time, for a total cost of about 6-7g.

No. Don't want to add the grams, and I've come to love the friction shifting.

So I'm going back to the drawing board on this build. Got a brand new SuperSix (yes, different from the other SuperSix I posted earlier). This was a Black Inc version, managed to tune it down to 629.5g frame, 269.1g fork. Under 900g for the combo! Sanded the Dash seatpost to reveal the absolutely gorgeous weave beneath. Acquired an AX-Lightness Rigid 120mm stem at 78g. I have a bunch more custom parts in the works. This will be a special build.

Wow, and no kidding. Just beautiful. Who is manufacturing the custom bar/stem, if you can talk about it?

What's your take on the saddle? I recently bought a beat up Dash Stage saddle and I am considering taking of the cover and padding.
