Title: Morpheus Update advice needed :)
Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on June 05, 2007, 05:19 PM: The wheels arrived for my racebike... They are Velocity Psycho on Profile Race Hubs.... they are superb :smitten: I also bought some Fly Powerbend bars and red mushies... I have bought some Bontrager 175mm Carbon cranks for it too. I looked at FSA and Saints but i always have to be a bit different ;D They are Road/mtb cranks but they look up t the job... i weigh about as much as a fat Hamster anyway ;D The Bontragers will need an Exo BB... Would a Shimano Hollow Tech fit? I am pretty sure the Bontragers are Isis drive. Any help or advice on which bb i will need would be appreciated :daumenhoch:

Sweet m8... thanks for that info :) I need an Isis Exo BB.. just need to measure the width of my bb shell now :D

I am hoping to get the bike under 20Lbs... 18 would be good ::) I have an oversized testicle that weighs 6 Lbs so i need to lose the weight off the bike to compensate... i just have to be careful not to wear shorts as it can get trapped in the spokes ;D
