Cheers. I'm not convinced by the use of a pulley to make top tube cabling work with a bottom-pull front mech, and I should probably find a seatpost with some setback, but that aside it's built-up very easily.

Awesome.



Crap picture thanks to the crap image posting rules...

My dream bike though, absolutely killer thing. Sadly couldn't afford the aero model, but still far more than I'll ever need and totally removed any wishes of N+1...

Love the colour on that. Good deal had there. What size is the frame?

Thanks, yeh it looks great in the sun with the bare carbon too. It's a large, but it's about 55cm so definitely more of an Italian large!

a sram etap shifter is £300 on its own. only race what you can afford to break. hence chinese wheels, alu bars etc.
