Okay, I have to say that the paintjob, the 'OPS!' decals, and combination of the 3T's fork, makes it way cooler.
Nice!

I worked hard to get it just how I liked it, made riding it all the better. Thanks a lot :D

ha, yeah, I couldn't remove the crown race off the old fork so I had to use a taller crownrace and my headset cap needs a microspacer but instead I put a 3mm spacer, ordering a new headset, should fix all of this thanks,lol

hei man, looks like your headset didn't fit with well, is it okay?
Posted about 11 years ago
why dont you get the enve fork instead? it'll lookhella sick on your frame, I think its a lil cheaper than the funda
Posted about 11 years ago
The ENVEs look sweet, but they just didn't have the wide aero profile I was going for. Still a nice looking fork.

How the 3t fork
i was planning to get one or an unknown full carbon track
Posted about 11 years ago
I haven't heard much on the Unknown fork but the 3T is a great fork. It feels very stiff and is incredibly light. Very noticeable coming from an aluminum fork

Posted about 11 years ago

Posted about 11 years ago

Posted about 11 years ago

Oh man.
Your good thing have so bloddy distaice of saddle to handle.
Very Very nice distance.
Looks like a your length is so long.
aint ya?
Anyway!
Your bike 's gear ware single speed.
How to go hill? push cart off?
Or flat town use?
Posted about 11 years ago
Hey man thanks, I like that steep drop from the saddle to the drops. There's a pretty good mix of hills and flat land here where I live.
Posted about 11 years ago
The protection cap cracked (plastic) and so I placed a spacer beneath it
Posted about 11 years ago
Like the Gossamer drops, how much it cost?
Posted about 11 years ago
Thanks, they're really comfortable and fairly light for around 20 dollars, you just have to look around.
Posted about 11 years ago
nice build :)
how tall are you man? i'm thinking about getting a 56cm visp but not quite sure how it'll fit yet
Posted over 11 years ago
Thanks! I'm 6'1, the 56 is a size smaller than someone my height would get,which would be a 57 or 58,I think a slightly smaller is far more comfortable than one too large
Posted over 11 years ago
should get clipless, it totally feels a lot better
Posted over 11 years ago
Yeah? That's an upgrade I've been considering but haven't been sure if they were worth it. Wheels are next but ill be sure to look into it, thanks!
Posted over 11 years ago
Yeah its a good upgrade, if you're on the budget, I would get the shimano pdr540

Usually I cant stand the sight of a Visp bike, but this is refreshing.. It's good not seeing aother tarck visp.
Posted over 11 years ago
Ha, I know exactly what you mean, i feel the same way looking through some Visp builds, thanks!
Posted over 11 years ago
your headset cap and lower headset doesnt seem right, it should be at least 1 or 2 mm gap
Posted over 11 years ago
You're totally right,below the top there's a spacer over the compression ring. When I had the top over the compression ring the top didn't fit right, cracked and so I put a spacer,works great but if you know of a more elegant solution let me know.
Posted over 11 years ago
that spacer not from vp headset right? because that spacer doesnt match with your headset
Posted over 11 years ago
This bike is awesome dude, I love it so much. Look skinny not bulky like other visp. Anyway, what's size this frame? 54 or 56?
Posted over 11 years ago
Thanks,its a really sweet frame. I don't remember exactly but im pretty sure that its a 56,you should upload your ride!
Posted over 11 years ago
Yeah I will upload my bike asap. My bike is still in progress, I've got a trouble to get a visp frame 56 in here. There's no shop which sell 56 visp frame..
Posted over 11 years ago
Your's got an amazing seatpost! You should make a picture from the drivetrain side - to fully show the beauty!
Posted over 11 years ago
Thank you, it really is my pride and joy and i got lucky on ebay! I'll be sure to although im waiting on new SRAM cranks to snap new pics
