Sale on Javelin complete bikes (Page 9)

I had a pro fit this morning and here is what I learned.

The 57cm, for my height (5'10" ) and inseam (30.5" ), with my "bit less than average leg length and a longer torso" was probably a hair big for me. A 55cm probably would have been spot on, but for what it's worth, it could have been a lot worse I may not be 100% ideal, but I am about 95% there.

I know everyone is different, but if it helps anyone else who can't get to a fitter and is looking for the approximate angles/sizes (for someone my size), here are my Original / Changed measurements: Your mileage may vary.

Bottom Bracket to Top of Saddle (Pedal): 66.9cm (84.2) / 72.8cm (89.7)

Crank Arm Length: 172.5cm / 172.5cm

Seat Set-back: +1.5cm / +1.3cm

Effective Seat Angle: 77 deg. / 77.7 deg

Nose of Saddle to Rear of Arm Rest: 48cm / 46cm

Aerobar Length: 34cm / 29.7cm

Arm Rest Width (center to center): 17cm / 21.5cm

Arm Rest Drop: +0.4cm / -4.7cm

Aerobar Tilt: +7 deg / +4 deg

Saddle Tilt: -5 deg / -1.7 deg

Knee Angle @ Bottom Center: L 122 deg, R 124 deg / L 144 deg, R 143 deg

Knee over Peddle Spindle: L 92 deg, R 93 deg / L 105 deg, R 103 deg

Hip Angle: 105 deg / 105 deg

Shoulder Angle: 105 deg / 92 deg

Enjoy. 

chirunner134 - 2008-03-27 5:16 PM I finally made it to the Javelin office. The office is so small but the back warehouse is huge. Omg there were so many bikes. Now I am at home with my new racing bike. Jealous? yeah your jealous. .

Um, no, not really, because my bike is put together and I've already ridden it...twice. Heh.

 I must say...the Narni is super light...it's ridiculous.  This is compared especially to my tank of a road bike.  It's beyond me.  Now I just have to get used to being in a true aero position.  My girly parts aren't liking it so much right now.

Got a Javelin last year and love it. Here she is.

I need to call Geoff back, mine didn't come with ZIPPs.

does anyone know if they still have parma's in? and possibly what sizes.

 Is anyone in over the weekend? Dave's message says he is out until april 14 (They will all be gone if I wait that long!)   Is Geoff in on saturdays or anytime over the weekend or do I need to with until monday?

 I'm most interested though in what they have left, specifically the parmas.

hehehe.... I ordered a 55 Fara for hubby.  Worried now it'll be too big... so there just may be a 55 Fara available, but not at the factory.

I think the photo above is an '07.  The '06's have the Easton's and that's what they're specked out for.

HELP!!!!!!

Ok, well, I'm gonna call Geoff on MOnday (I don't think they're in on Sat's).

Went for a ride this morning (only my 3rd ride) Been having problem's tuning front derailler.  I had the bike shop adjust it again last week.  On my ride this morning the chain kept rattling and once again, I was never able to shift onto the small chain ring.  Got back in from my ride and noticed the fram where the derailler attaches is CRACKED!!!!!!

I'm scared.  Even at the outrageuously low prices, this was still a major purchase (and we bought 2!!)

Any additional advice is welcomed

I'm still pretty new, so I'm not quite sure how I should feel.  As I was riding around the 'hood today getting comfortablein the position, I think I'm pretty good.  I feel like my center of gravity is maybe just a few inches behind the stem.  Is that correct?

I rode mine in my first race of the season yesterday, and I have to say, it flat out rocked.

Now I just need to take it over to a wrench that specializes in Campy parts to work out some kinks that my gearing has.

*Note to self: In the future, take Campy bikes to Campy shops, or the Shimano guys will set up the gearing like a Shimano bike. Nothing inherently wrong with it, just a matter of a few rough spots. 

I loved the fact that there were so few (if any beyond my Varese and my friend's Parma) Javs out at the race, amongst a bunch of Cervelo, Trek and Specialized frames. It was quite easy to find my bike at transition

Now to start working on upgrading... Record here I come (*cough* next year...) 

Just ordered mine a few minutes ago.  Parma 55 are still in stock i would imagine since I just got one.

 Geoff said that it needs to be put together at a bike shop to keep the warrenty? Is that true? I thought other people on here have assembled it themselves.

I'm not sure, I was hoping someone else would know.

 I was hoping me and my dad could put it together, but know im kinda scared....anyone any ideas? is it ok to do? From what i'v read from others it doesn't sound too difficult?

Definitely, go to bike shop.  They'll charge you about $50 to $75 dollars, but it's well spent knowing it's all together and warranty secured.

JAVELIN is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Geoff called me back first thing this morning.  I'm shipping bike off today and they will take care of it.

I think I'm a JAVELIN lifer now!!!!!1
