Last night I found my digital camera that I misplaced Saturday night, 3 days ago. It was in the back of my truck. It sat out there during the downpour that took place during my triathlon and the whole rest of the day and the squall that came through yesterday afternoon. I expected the worst but amazingly it fired right up. How cool is that?

This collection of pictures is taken from last Thursday when I went to Tribe to put the PHX together. Kevin and I worked on it from 8:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Mostly he worked on it since he is the pro and its an interally cabled frame.

Frame weight is under two pounds without the fork and 2.7 pounds with. This is taken directly out of the box.

Everything pulled out of the box, minus rims. Sure doesn't look like many parts.

I really like how this came out. The checkering is because the frame is carbon fiber with a nude finish meaning that the layers are visible.

Not the best photo but it was late. Pretty much done.

If you look closely you will see a frame hanging behind the PHX in the third picture. It belongs to local Pro female. Its an Elite that has come straight from a powder coating paint job. Its a custom color so that it stands out and is incredibly strong so it won't chip. It only cost a $100 so maybe an option for those of you out there wanting to put new life on an older looking frame.
