2006 Orbea Aletta Time Trial/Triathlon Rig & Helmet...

6-10-10 UPDATED PRICE & NO HELMET INCLUDED...So you want to go faster? So you want to explore the pain cave further? Tired of modifying your road bike for TT's or Tri's? Tired of losing time in stage races because your competitor's have dedicated TT set-ups? YOU need a TT bike!

I've always been an average crit racer & average road racer but the difference maker was always my TT. I attribute part of it to a willingness to suffer but a big part was always the right equipment.

What you see is what you get. This sale does not include pedals, wheels, rear derailleur, or braze-on front derailleur. So you need a few items to complete this project but its the baseline for a wicked fast machine.

It's a 2006 Orbea Aletta. Frame is aluminum with carbon seat & chain stays.

dimensions:
Top Tube (virtual) - 57 cm
Down Tube - 55.5 (center to center)
Head Tube - 145mm
Cranks are FSA SLK Carbon, 175 mm. Chain rings are FSA 53/39, bottom bracket is FSA MegaExo (like butter)...
Brakes are branded Orbea with cork pads for carbon rims...
Fork is a carbon Orbea Zeus w/ carbon steerer...
Aero downtube, sweet...
the controls - bars (aluminum)/extensions (carbon)/brake levers are all Profile Design. Shifters are Dura Ace, rear is indexed & front is friction. There's a Profile Design computer mount tucked in there, also included. Stem is a FSA OS 140 w/ carbon face plate, 120mm/6 degree...
seat post is a an Aero Profile Design Razor carbon, saddle is a Bontrager (unsure of model)...


Carbon seat & chain stays with a cut out in the downtube that the rear wheel tucks into for added aerodynamics...
aero head tube & fork profile to cheat the wind even more, Cane Creek integrated headset...
6-9-10 HELMET HAS BEEN SOLD!!! New price below for everything else... Rudy Project Syton Open TT helmet & bag. Size - Large (58/61cm).
Here's a stock picture I found on the internet of a built up version...
Everything including the helmet are in excellent condition bordering on perfect. I've had this bike & helmet since '06 & have used it sparingly & taken really good care of it. Why am I selling it? I rode it twice last year & my interests have wandered to other aspects of cycling.

So what am I asking? $650 for everything. I would like to sell this locally (Lincoln/Omaha or nearby) to make it an easy transition. Pick-up is available, maybe even delivery (no promises).

It's EBAY bound if I can't move it around here.

Questions? Please ask...tekrause@earthlink(dot)net

It's time to take your game to the next level, or something like that:)

Later,

farewell my sweet....

SOLD:)

Hey yo...
In the late summer of '03 I decided I was going to try racing CX on a single speed. I built this wheelset myself & used it with a custom Peyto SS CX bike which I am also going to sell, I hope. These wheels were used during the fall of '03 & briefly during the spring of '04. Lightly used is an understatement.

700c WTB Speed Master rims
DT 14/15 spokes
Chris King Rear Single Speed Hub w/ fun bolts & spacers, 17T Chris King cog included, 32 hole
Chris King Classic front hub, 32 hole

Notes: No front skewer & spacing of the rear hub is 135mm! I put these on the truing stand this morning & there true as hell. These are not for disc brakes. You can switch out the fun bolts for bolts that allow you to use a skewer, these bolts are included also but no rear skewer.

I'm asking $350.00, cash. I'd love to sell these locally/regionally to avoid paypal/ebay fees & shipping hassels.

Check out how much these hubs would cost you on ebay let alone retail. If you don't need a 700c wheelset you could tear these down & build them up to something else & still be way ahead.

Have a great day! TK




hate to do it...

I keep everything, but some stuff's got to go. Stay tuned...
