Re: Funds slow down, but it's the middle of winter - no issue

Oh la la! I was always taken with that Mavic chainset - gutted when I had to sell mine a couple of years ago to add to the 'nappy fund' Such an 'non-obvious' build in a world of generic machinery - health to ride!

Re: The most surprising bit... Workhorse wheels, no chain (Dura Ace), front mech (SRAM Red 22 Yaw), pedals (Time Xpresso 8 Carbon) or cables (Jagwire Elite) on but this is not disgracing itself by a long way! :shock:

Re: Neat as a very neat thing...

Re: Sharp bits @ the back SRAM Red 22 rear mech Dura Ace 12-28 cassette. No 12 tooth SRAM Red cassette as I think 11 tooth (for me) is a waste of space, these days anyway.

Re: Rotor 3D+ crankset Tried and tested machinery I have on a couple of my other rigs Ceramic bearings to be pressed in once I get the right tools

Re: Enve compact bar Enve stem SRAM Red 22 shifters Is there any possible upgrade here :lol:

Re: Getting there... Start up wheels will be these 35mm Fulcrum Quattro's - very nice and very little money... Saddle too high I know, but just couldn't wait to get my first pic! Stem needs flipped too :facepalm: Haven't even thrown a leg over it yet - time enough in the spring 8)

Re: saddle I haven't seen those before, good enough reason for me ;-) Thanks for the pointer!

Tempted...why go obvious? Black...

Re: Saw these today in the flesh - Rolf Vigor, lovely... Just the polar opposite of the cookie cutter Zipp / Mavic.. http://www.rolfprima.com/vigor/

Re: Was always a Campag fan but not sure the 50th anniversary group would pass the 'subtle' look I'm after... :facepalm:

More toys... Kid goes without food this week ...

But then that would be obvious ;-) Plus I have a Rotor 3D+ in the shed unused, and I am a huge fan. The 3D I've been using for years is bombproof and that's saying a lot for a lad from Northern Ireland

Cannondale CAAD10 build Why? Because I'm worth it...

This frame is incredibly well finished. With my planned build it'll be lighter than either of the BMC SLR or Specialized S-Works I've had. I'd appreciate views on wheels (11 speed compatible) Just to be different, I quite like the Rolf Echelon's for the semi-high profile rim...

Finally getting excited about riding again after spending a week unconscious a year ago after a van trying to fuse itself to me in Portugal at 60kph (according to Garmin) This will be a 'life is too short' build for me... Plus, at 40 years old now, I think my window to become a pro has passed ;-)

Any interest in seeing my stealth black aluminium build progressing..? Some nice hardwear pending...
