Probably won't ever, too heavy for bikes but it's available for my airplane and I'd love to have one to replace my GNS530.

I built my Specialisma for under $8000 Bought New frame for $3300, Campagnolo Bora WTO 60 Carbon tubeless wheels for $1800, Added Shimano Utegra Di2 8150 for $900 (I researched difference between Ultra shifting and dura to be negligible for double price) , Stages Pwoermeter Dura Ace Crank $600, 11-30 Dura Ace Cassette $200, Other accessories Bar, stem, seat post, Saddle, rim brakes etc under $1300. Is an amazing bike under 15 lbs size 53

@BlackWaterCyclist 4 года назад

Hi AJ, that is a great deal you have found and put together one heck of a bike. If I were only road cycling and had some legit climbs, I would have done what you did. Just piece it together. Getting it under 15 pounds is very impressive and I know it feels like a rocket on the climbs. Yeah Ultegra and Dura Ace are both great with the Dura Ace just having the upper hand due to weight but other than that, they are very similar.

Black Water Cyclist I plan to sail around the world in 2022-2023 and wanted a epic bike I can ride through Europe kids raised and off to college. Done 5 - 70.3 and one full Ironman have built Colnago K.Zero TT with SRAM e-tap so now I am set. Built my son Colnago V1R Sram e-tap he loves it in LA

I own a Biancai infaneto cv . And it's a great Bike . I bought this bike in 2019. I have road 19 000 miles on this bike . And it still performs like new . I have done a lot of grandfondo s on this bike.... It is worth the money.. I highly recommend thus bike .... And also the less expensive bike Biancai bulds . Via nurom . 2200.00. Dollars.. This bike is really good induction race bike for starting out. I put 6000 miles on that bike in 2 years . You can not go wrong buying a Biancai... The quality is there .

Actually, I disagree with lying a bike on its side, just make sure the derailleur is facing up. I have seen so many bikes fall over and this can really damage a modern bike. So if in doubt, lay it down.

@Motorep146 2 года назад

Sometimes it can't be helped. First time I did the coaster century from Anaheim back down to San Diego they laid all the bikes on their sides for the train ride up. First proper ride on my new Bianchi so I was freaked out! Everything was fine when we arrived but I was definitely worried the whole trip up. All that was quickly forgotten as we cycled toward the coast dodging the needles, human feces, and aggressive homeless people.

The best meal you've ever had and you wouldn't pay $200! That's cheap for the best meal you can possibly have.

@BlackWaterCyclist 4 года назад

Bahaha 🤣! That is true. I guess that shows you how cheap I am on a teachers salary with 3 small kids at the house. That $200 meal has now become a $1000 meal for my whole family 💸. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment.

@williamknowles3085 4 года назад

@@BlackWaterCyclist Fair! Still, $200 is still cheap for the best meal you'll ever eat from birth to death. But everyone does have personal responsibility.

@waynosfotos 4 года назад

I run tubulars all the time, just need to take a spare tyre. You can fold them so they fit in your jersey pocket. They are pretty reliable and sealant can be run in them to fix the puncture when riding, like tubeless. If I could make a suggestion, the camera footage is pretty ordinary, the contrast is quite poor. The colour of the bike doesn’t even look right and the detail in the shadows is poor. Might be worth looking at a better camera if you are into doing vids. The sound when riding also has to much noise. Best to do a talk over on the footage so it is clearer to understand. I am looking at one of these, but not new, bikes drop so much, but you can pick one of these up under half secondhand now. Some bargains around with the disc brake hipe!

@BlackWaterCyclist 4 года назад

Yeah the tubulars were pretty old and worn out so I honestly shouldn't knock them too hard for that and I forgot the sealant at the house so I'm an idiot for that. I usually ride gravel and mountain bikes so carrying a larger tire around is a little harder for those types of rides. I have just started doing this videos about 3 months ago so I'm brand new to the whole video and audio thing and I agree, my audio sucks and my video skills need to be honed but I'm green. Figured I might as well learn as I go. I've bought a few mics in the past week to play around with and to do voice over. After this video I got a much better mic and will probably do some voice over in the future. Also I used a Sony fdr-x3000 for this video and it isn't shooting as good as i expected it to. I appreciate the input and feedback. Any other tips or anything about video or audio, send them my way.

How's the countervail?

@BlackWaterCyclist 4 года назад

It was very smooth and great power transfer but honestly didn't feel a whole lot different than just running lower pressures in your tires. I am sure it works but I would be lying if I said it made a huge difference.

@Motorep146 2 года назад

The countervail works but it's not as ride altering as the hype would lead you to believe. It tends to cancel out the higher frequency vibrations and tingles over a long ride. On my Infinito CV I don't get as fatigued after a day in the saddle as I did on my previous bikes. However, if you're looking for more compliance from bigger hits then careful selection of your components will help. Tires, wheels, saddle choice, and stem/bar combos make the most difference overall.
