This just arrived today…

It's a 2005 Fetish SAC Aero 56cm. It will be built into a winter bike,
I've already picked up a 105 hub/32 DT spoke/Mavic CXP22 winter wheelset for it.

Now I just need a seatpost collar, bottle cages + bolts,
plastic cable guide for the underside of the bottom bracket, and a couple of downtube cable adjusters.

It weighs 1950 grams, which is pretty decent for a
cheap 'aero' aluminum road frame.

it's a precision machined component designed for the purpose of leaving black dusty stuff all over my hands when I change a flat.

as a side benefit, it may also stop wheels from spinning.

I've got a set of CXP22(?) rims on Shimano Tiagra hubs that have been used about a dozen times that I may get rid of if you're interested.

No powdery black stuff either :rocker:

Should be fun, aero is cool.
