I have the Finding Nemo edition:k-off-to-the-Alps bike.
For the money it's hard to fault, although a certain amount of buggering about was required in order to comfortably fit two 750ml bottles - it's also a medium and the bottle bosses could be lower down.

That looks up my street. Would you mind sharing the final build cost? For the money it's hard to fault, although a certain amount of buggering about was required in order to comfortably fit two 750ml bottles - it's also a medium and the bottle bosses could be lower down.
Happy to - but not sure how helpful it will be:
Frame & forks were £299, Headset, saddle, stem & seatpost were £60-ish, all from Planet-X
60mm carbon clinchers were £380 delivered from 2013Cycling2013 on eBay - I already had them, though, having bought them last year.
Bars are Fizik Cyrano R3 - I think either £50 or £55 from CRC.
Groupset is 105 10spd - which I also already had; on my previous do-it-all bike, which was an old secondhand Allez that needed a rebuild. Full 105 groupset is £350 from Merlin at the moment, so that would put the full cost at just under £1,150, but because I already had most of it I only spent £400 or so.
It's tough to beat Planet-X's prices for complete bikes: they want £1,200 for a Pro-Carbon with Ultegra and a reasonable pair of wheels - but I just wanted a frameset and finishing kit.

Thought I'd show the Process of again as its back from having some bits replaced (11-46 cassette, warranty replacement reverb, new HR2's and bearings all done). About to get the fork re invisiframed as that's taken a knock and I fancy some matching graphics for the full bike tart effect.
While both MTB's were spotless I decided to, you know, put them in the kitchen. As you do.

feltv55 adventure road bike.Taking it on its maiden voyage tomorrow. Got a CAAD10 as my normal road bike, but fancied something to replace the MTB which now feels too slow.
spec seems top notch: ultegra chain set, ultegra front and rear mech, shimano hydraulic discs, pro logo seat, carbon seat post, and even strada bianca tyres which retail at £45/tyre!
Can't wait to try it out properly

Love the Volare!I'm a mountain biker at heart but lately I've been getting a strange pull towards buying an adventure/gravel bike, so I bought this. It's a Charge Plug and I realise the colour might not be to everyones tast but I love it. The pedals are just until I've got used to riding it and set it up how I like it and then I'll fit my spare SPDs.
