The Primus Mootry

It is an amazing process behind designing a custom built bike. First you get on an adjustable stationary bike that it connected to a computer. Then you make adjustments until you feel comfortable and the computer shows that you are putting out higher wattage than other positions. Then you take all the measurements from the stationary adjustable bike and put them into a program that gives you a CAD picture of your custom bike (the colors are not the official, I am hoping for black with white oval decals). Now you just sit back and in about two weeks a custom built bike will show up at the shop personalized with your name on the top tube.

To match the new bike, I just had to get the new carbon fiber kicks and pedals with very little (almost none at all) float.

I am buying up Campy Record components to equip the new bike with only the best. Every little bit helps and a custom bike should take it to the next level.
