Is that rear brake cable going over the stem? Looks like it's at a really awkward angle, I'd sort that out ASAP as it will be adversely affecting your braking as is. I'd also level the saddle if I were you... Lovely bike otherwise though, like the paint job.

My thoughts exactly!! in addition, there are far too many spacers under the stem. Recommendations for a carbon steerer (which this has) are a maximum of the thickness of the steerer (i.e. 30mm) for safety reasons as it puts too much stress on the fork steerer with this much on it and it could have catastrophic results. Need at least half of those taken out my friend!

Though am put off by the press fit BB.

Why?

Why?

All the reports on here, and other forums of continually having to fix, take apart, regrease due to creaks.
I think @smokeysmoo (iirc) has gone down the correct route and adapted his bb30 to HTII.

I'm very happy with HHII so I am sticking with them. Over 10 years and gawd knows how many bikes, I have only ever had a problem with one BB.

Yup Ian's spot on

After loads of grief with the BB30 on my Cannondale I adapted it and fitted a Hollowtech II chainset, and with not a sound in sight since I've never looked back.

It literally turned the bike from a nightmare into the dream I expected it to be when I bought it

Brilliant bike, though owning one myself I may be a tad biased.

Just needs a nice set of full length mudguards then it'll be a proper 'Winter Bike'
