What size is it? Those seatpost masts you have to cut also freak people out.

You don't have to cut Trek masts.
Fair enough, I wasn’t too stoked on the seat mast idea either, but I didn’t actually cut this one, it’s still factory length

You don't have to cut Trek masts.

It’s a 54cm, factory length seat mast

Just something about the photo... maybe not even knockoff, maybe stolen.


Just something about that photo strikes me as sketchy enough that I wouldn't bid on that auction. I don't know, maybe pull it apart and photograph it all together but disassembled or something. Not really anything glaringly wrong, just something setting off my sketchy deal radar in that photo.

Thanks for the love ya filthy animals!

I have to do a reweigh here soon, that weight scale was janky. But I know if I went to Dura Ace and order my one-piece carbon bar/stem that I really want, I could get the weight down pretty stinkin low. Ill post a photo of it on the scale for safe measure. Also that 14.6 was with a front light, k-edge mount w/ garmin 820, and my rear light. Not too shabby.

Will accept donations of Dura Ace stuff... lol

It's actually been built for some time now. But I have one of the new 3T Bailout cassettes on the way that I will install once I order my eTap HRD setup.

Here it is as it is built now

I pulled this up and it is originally a 2016 Emonda SL 5. But that is not factory paint. That is a repaint from a carbon repair. I assume Calfee Designs did it? But I have an original photo....

@viciouscycleworx are you the original owner that got it at Salt Cycles?

Awww... look who got their feelings hurt. Isn't that funny.

Don't f*cking ask a question if you're gonna act like a butthurt little bitch over the answer.

....and that's probably why I thought it looks so sketchy. Good digging mate.

The whole "well, go ahead and authenticate away" sounds pretty butthurt and defensive to me... maybe I misread?
