Stumptown Bike

My blue Pinarello. I've wanted Italian steel for soooo long. Finally got this ride a couple years ago.

Pedal Force is one retailer/importer of carbon monocoque frames built by Martec in Taiwan. Martec's production line is responsible for (among others), carbon frames sold as BP Stealth, EPX, Supergo, Kestral (Talon models). I think they built a few Look models at one time as well.

The bikes they build for different retailers differ in that the molds are not the same but the production methods are. My frame doesn't look like a Talon but it's made the same. It also costs 1/3 as much as any comparable carbon monococque frames sold under a well-known brand name.

I haven't ridden it yet, it's presently 10 degrees Farenheit here...but the build went smoothly and the fit and finish seem superb. It's clear-coat over the carbon except where it's black at the joints...I presume to camoflage where the carbon weave collides from different directions.

The fork and seatpost are both from Pedal Force as well.

Before you get too excited, the seatpost is a piece of ****e. I'm sending it back. No matter how hard I torque the bolt the tilt angle adjustment can be moved by hand. I just ordered a Campy Chorus carbon seat post from Excelsports.com

**** weighed with wheels

8.058 k 17lb. 12.24oz.

I have NOT weighed the actual, built up bike yet.

I may or may not be going to different wheels soon. I'll take some detail shots and put them on my web page since I doubt people want to see a whole mess of them lading here. I'll post as soon as they're online.

Escept for the two "unverified" items which I forgot to weigh...I personally weighed everything on a kitchen scale that's only accurate within 2 grams. Hence the need to weigh the complete bike...which is out of the scale's range.

Oh dear! sorry to hear about ur seat post! just out of intrest how tall r u and wots the frame size? thanks

jstraw

I'm 5'9" and the frame is 56cm.

Apparently due to the utter lack of instructions packed with the frame, I failed to use a washer that was intended for use with the seat post. Now that part of the friction surface has been worn smooth I'm still sending it back and I'll never know if it was a great post at a bargain price. Oh well.

I have a bunch of detailed photos online at http://smallproblem.com/carbon/ now.
