Darren Ng's Tavelo Arow Race, Pass Quest 1x Chainring, Berk Saddle and Ceramic Bling!
Hello cycling friends, we're back again for another edition of our customers' bike builds! In the blink of an eye, we're headed towards the fourth quarter of the year.
In this September edition, we have Darren Ng, who has recently built his bike based on a less mainstream bike frame manufacturer Tavelo. Interestingly, he moved the parts from his older Specialized Venge Disc to this! A less common choice indeed.
Without much ado, let's bring on the photos!
The complete bike in its glory, at the heart of the build lies the Tavelo Arow Race Frameset.
From the top, we have a Berk Lupina Carbon Saddle. Fancy!
The Tavelo Avro Gen 1 Cockpit (380x130mm) with a nice Ti-Parts touch. Very aggressive! Shameless plug: We also have a custom mount for Tavelo Avro cockpits here.
The Arow's seat tube and seatstays.
Tavelo Pertual Sharp Adv 47/58 Front Wheel. Ceramic bearings, Carbon Spokes, and a very competitive weight at ~1245g per set of front and rear! SRAM Red EXS E1 Shifters too.
Tavelo Pertual Sharp Adv 47/58 Rear wheel, SRAM Red EXS E1 with a Full Titanium Upgrade Kit, CeramicSpeed OSPW (Team Edition)
Cykleest Carbon Bottle Cages (Only 6g each!)
Pass Quest 54T Single Chainring, SRAM Red Crank Arm. Looks impressive! Unseen behind that chainring: Tripeak Ceramic BB
A different view of that beautiful Pass Quest chainring.
Front: 72g Disc Brake Rotor, matchy matchy with the silver SRAM disc brake caliper.
Rear: 72g Disc Brake Rotor, matchy matchy with the silver SRAM disc brake caliper.
The SRAM RED E1 Drivetrain with CeramicSpeed OSPW and a notable lack of front derailleur for a 1x setup. Did you know we sell 3D Printed OSPWs?
The complete bike, yet again, for one last glance. This time, we also catch sight of the LOOK Ceramic Pedals. LOOK Titanium Axle Upgrade available Here.
There you have it! A very unique bike build by Darren for all of us to admire.
Using both well-known brands and components such as SRAM Red, CeramicSpeed OSPW and Continental, to the lesser known brands such as Tavelo, Pass Quest and Tripeak. It is certainly one of a kind and looks very well researched!
We hope you enjoy your new ride Darren. As for you, we hope you've enjoyed viewing such a neat bike from an up-and-coming bike brand! Now, what are you waiting for? Get out there and ride your bike! However, if the weather is less than kind, and you're looking for bicycle upgrades, do check out our online shop for a plethora of bicycle upgrades!
Ride hard, ride safe, and enjoy the ride!
