Default Ladd's New Little Lady: Terremoto Build Pics!
Between my son being born and the new bike showing up it's been a rather eventful week around here. Stork's been busy, for sure!

What with in-laws all over the place and diapers to be changed, saddle time on the new rig has been scarce. I did get it out for a shakedown on the Loop, though, and from that little taste I'm already completely stoked on the thing. Can't wait to hit Oaks or something similar soon!

Happy to share build specs, so if anyone's interested, just ask.

On to the pics:

Thanks for the comments so far, guys. I'm very pleased with the results, glad you all agree!

Rob--Those are indeed Time pedals, ATAC XS Carbon. Really like the feel so far, think I might've finally found a winner.

Marshall--Good eye, they're the ORO Biancos. I like the feel of these so far, also. If they perform 1/2 as well as the Louise FR's, I'll be thrilled.

Skipp--You trying to get me shot?!

Wow - That came out beautiful. For sure one of a kind.

I think I smell an ATT run cooking.

Have you weighed it yet? Or do you not want to know?

Again with the stem?! Actually, I just shortened the X-5's to 90mm from 110mm, and it feels great! Hopefully that length transfers to the 'Moto just as nicely. We'll see...

Thanks, C. An ATT run is most definitely in order, just have to get permission to sneak away. 2+ weeks of baby leave left, so should be able to make something happen.

Haven't weighed the bike yet, and no, not sure I want to know .

That is a sharp looking rig Dell, and I'm glad to finally see it built up. I'm sure that it'll be fun to shred the trails on that bad lookin' toy. Let me know when you and Craig wanna come down here - I know you're busy!

And congrats on the baby boy too...
