Customer Bike: Eric's Carrera Phibra 2

Posted by 4 on

Customer Bike of the Day: Eric's Carrera Phibra 2... This is not our first Phibra 2, having built one up for a customer in Ottawa last summer. However, this was our first Mondrian paint scheme Phibra 2! Hand-finished in Italy, this Carrera is a monocoque racer possessing huge doses of stiffness and relatively high comfort for an all-day ride quality that still has enough rigidity for the strongest sprinters. Features include tapered 1.5" headset, full internal cable routing for mechanical or electric drive-trains, and ISP. We built her up with a Ritchey WCS carbon cockpit... High-mod carbon layup, gorgeous Italian paint quality, and extreme tube shaping are all visible up close... Huge front-end stiffness from the tapered, oversized, and super-swoopy (non-Onda) fork... Oh, and yes the new 2014 SRAM Force-22 groupset is AWESOME!! This Carrera is just one example of our a la carte build service... 1. Get a fit consultation done to decide on your perfect bike, 2. Choose your frameset - stock or custom, 3. Choose your group, components and wheels, 4. Watch us price-match the best North American advertised pricing, 5. Pick up your dream bike for an awesome price!! For this one, we came up with something that would give Eric a bit more stability and comfort than his old Cervelo, with a bit of Italian flair! Full build details: Frameset: Carrera Phibra 2 Group: SRAM Force 22 Cockpit: Ritchey WCS Carbon stem with Superlogic bar ISP cap: FSA 2-bolt Saddle: S-Works Toupe (not my choice;) Wheels: Easton SLX with upgraded ceramic 11-speed freehub Tires: Conti Competition Tubular 25mm Pedals: Looks Keo Blade 15nm
