Custom Calfee Tetra Pro

My first Calfee that was designed and built by Brent Ruegamer when he was still working for Craig.

2002 setup
















and then theres the aero fork








Calfee and LeMond

Softride PowerWing

Newest addition to the stable is a Softride Classic but it needs a lot of tweaking. I will be in the hunt for a new fork and threadless headset plus maybe a set of aero 650c's.

















----------
Updated 12/05/2008 with Chris King headset and an unknown aero fork badged as a Softride plus a pair of old Specialized tri-spokes. The 56/39 rings are not compatible, it keeps on dropping the chain every time I shift the front gear. Changed the inner ring to a 42 and it works flawlessly. Those 17tooth drop really does not work well.

The plan was to ride this new setup for about 10 miles to shake out the bugs but the weather was nice plus the fit was good so I was really able to generate enough speed to make the initial ride into a 53 miler comfortably. It is a keeper..........

Tetra-Custom is GONE... as in sold. Well, that is for the frame and fork only. Replaced it with a smaller Tetra Pro that was previously owned by Fred Markham (aka Fast Freddy)

1996 Lemond Zurich - It rides right and feels right but it doesn't look right with only about 3 inches of post showing when I set it up for me. So... I got 4 windows and a pair of 2008 Fulcrum Racing Zero for it. Not too bad.







Cannondale R1000
The frame was too small at 50cm for me so the frame and fork was traded for a 54cm Specialized Allez.
-








Serotta CSI Colorado Concept Tubing
And this one was too long on the topside so it has to go too. Sorry, no pics of the driveside.
-







Willier Triestina SC 7000
This one too was too tall but I loved the finish of the bike. It has that leathery texture on it. I never fully built this up since my batillogs can barely clear the top tube.
-






Specialized M4
Now this one was too flexy at the BB. Imagine an all out of the saddle sprint and the darn thing decides to change gears. I found out about the flex when I mounted it on a trainer and it scared the heck out of me when I looked down at the BB while running a 53x12 gear. The BB was swaying about 2 inches on each side, that's about 4 inches of play. No wonder it changes its gears when stomped on. Sold to a triathlete which I think the frame was originally designed for. 'ya know, the aero thang!!!

Specialized Sirrus
This POS (piece of steel)is gone since its taking too much valuable space plus I needed some dough at the time.

Panasonic DX-4000
Ditto on this fine piece of steel. I might regret selling this one since it really gave me the feeling of a magic carpet ride.
-







Miyata 712 (Seven Twelve)
And another fine piece of steel that was let go due to lack of storage space.
-







Masi Gran Corsa
One of those projects that was sold without getting it built up.
-







Santana Elan Tandem
Gone too........ replaced by a Raleigh Coupe.
-











An RB-2 replaced by a couple of keeper RB-1's. The STI'd one is in danger of getting kicked out of the stable :( sigh
-






Masi Gran Criterium
For some reason, I didn't like the ride of this frameset. Unexplainable !!! maybe I just got tired of looking at those fugly welds.
-






My Serotta Single Speed project that I decided not to build.
-









Santana Picante Tandem
Another one of those batillog can't clear the top tube thing even with 26 inch wheels. The truth is I can't reach the pedals at the bottom stroke even at the lowest setting of the saddle. I thought I would be able to tweak it by moving the eccentric BB but no dice.
-






LOOK KX Light
This one hurts the most. Got pinched so badly with cash I, I..... sigh gotta sell :(
-






Paramount OS PDG
One night stand??? I really do not remember any history of this one. I was prolly too drunk to remember anything. :) ;) ;)
