Looking good! I'm tempted to save for a 40mm section front wheel for the slightly more windy days. Would it look a bit daft with a different front wheel to a rear wheel (eg zipp front wheel but Reynolds rear)!?
Would look ok if you removed any Zipp decals. I’m not a fan of the look of the cosmics, think the decals are too big and bright - but I cannot be arsed to take them off!

Another one on ebay...........Wants £2.6k for bike, £600 for wheels. last seasons Ultegra
Offered him a reasonable (So I thought) 2.7k all in.
I got a "No, and it's the best bike ever, and Alex Dowsett is getting me a new one"
KK mate.
In fairness the chap has been completely open on the listing stating that he really does not need to sell it in any rush and will happily stick it on the wall...Offered him a reasonable (So I thought) 2.7k all in.

So your offer of some £500 less than his asking price obviously isn't going to do the job!
In all seriousness though chap, you are obviously very keen to get on the Aeroad bandwagon and seemingly happy to splash serious cash on a used model. Instead of making low offers and then complaining about how the guys have declined on here just spend the money and get a brand spanker for £3199!
Went out for a quick 20 miler, first time riding in the wet (well, it wasn't raining but the roads were soaked.
Discs....so, so much better aren't they. Literally instant stopping power, absolutely no delay. I don't think they offer that much more outright stopping power, but they do bite instantly which is really, really reassuring.
Despite wearing full winter gear, getting blown about at the top of a hill and having to slow for some descents and a bit of traffic, I still got a 19.4mph average and wasn't exactly caning it. 20 miles/1200ft of climb...so not flat either. I reckon that would be around 18mph on my last bike.

Keep looking at that RCE website too, a lot of S5's come up on there.
