The Honor America's Heroes Bicycle Build Project

My primary bicycle is a, carbon fiber, Scattane CFR.

I use it for daily rides, training rides and competing in sprint triathlons. This bike's features include:

• Shimano Ultegra components

• Zipp Speed Weaponry carbon fiber 404 wheels

• Hutchinson Carbon (Tech) comp tires

The bicycle weights 17 pounds. I love it.

We are building a second Scattante CFR. The frame arrived today. The build begins immediately.
The new bike features include:

• Shimano Ultegra components.
• Weyless fork, stem, seatpost
• Easton C70 handlebars
• Zero Gravity OG-TI brakes
• Swiss Stop Yellow King brake pads
• Exustar pedals

During the Honor America's Heroes: Summer 2011 - Bicycle across America - One Fire Station at a Time Tour I will use several bicycle seats including Fizik, Specialized and Serfas and Selle.

New bicycle build weight goal---under 17 pounds.
