The Ghost Has Appeared!

The Ghost Lector Race has landed, and holyheck, what a rig!  A reasonably easy build (slap on the seat/seatpost, wheels and stem/bar combo and away you go!).  Once built, the Lector is an intimidating looking machine, draped in matt black paint with subtle hints of gray and splashes of red to keep things visually
interesting, the Lector is all business. 

BEEFY TUBING! Sculpted tubing resides everywhere on this bike; tapered top tube, stout chainstays, a bottom bracket that would look at home on the USS Enterprise and my favorite, fork legs that could have been modeled after Jessica Zelinka's gams - gorgeous and muscular!  This bike screams performance!

Component selection is top shelf, the Sram Red group has a tremendous following in the racing world, combining double-tap technology, and light weight. Carbon wheels, you say?  Yup, the Lector's got those too, in the form of Easton EC90's, wrapped in Schwalbe's premium race rubber, Ultremo ZX!  By now, it's late, I'm in the garage, wifey is probably asking where I am, and I need to go to bed!  More on this thing later.   Stoked?  Oh yeah!
