Team Equipment.

Here are some pics of the Rotwild team bike and MET helmet. This is the Alum frame, as the carbon frame is not ready to go yet. The sponsors of the team only sent out a few new parts so they could be in the photo shoot, so my bike here is a mixture of last years parts and this years parts. Unlike previous years, the bike is not owned by me...but rather Ergon. At the end of the year we return the bike and they warehouse all the parts. In the next 4 weeks I will await the arrival of the new carbon bike and newer parts from DT Swiss, Formula, and Shimano.


The complete bike.
Bike is good to go accept Shimano did not send enough 175mm cranks to team camp. Right now I am spinning like mad some 170's while I wait for some 175's.



The new GX grip with carbon barend. So new, that I got them the night before I flew back to the States.



New Shimano XTR.



More XTR. I totally dig the new XTR set up. The shifting is fast and precise.



Front end is suspended by the FOX F80 X





Terry saddle is really comfy. I was very hesitant to ride this saddle, but am very amazed by it.



Tapered tubing provides race car like handling.



No doubt, this is team issue.



Team Issue MET helmet.



Visor is removable.




Yep, it's my helmet.
