Elves Has Left The Build-ing

[accountantpete]

I used to be able to build a bike in a morning but those days are long gone with internal wiring of the cockpit.

Anyway, after a week of taking my time and doing everything one stage at a time the bike is finished.

There are a few tweaks needed but it's a very comfortable ( 26mm tubeless. ) and fast ride.

The bike is an Elves EXP with their in-house integrated bars finished off with a really good value (£30) Goldix 3D Printed Carbon saddle.

Nice work - not my bag but it does look sweet

White bar tape ?

White bar tape ?

It's grey now.

Probably.

What are the pedals?

What are the pedals?

I'm probably way off, but they look like the super light Wellgo flats to me (can't recall model), I bought a pair from Merlin around '16 for ~£20. Were fine until one suddenly split in two 2/3 years later.

The white tape is a temporary solution - the Chameleon paint colours keep changing my mind as to the best colour tape...

Pedals are cheap Chinese flats that I started to use when an arthritic hip flare up forced me to ditch the spd-sl's

Looks great - checked out the web site and they are very good value as a whole bike. Cyclescheme too !

Looks quick just standing there

Unimaginative but I think black tape would probably suit that well - wouldn't want to be chucking any more colours into the mix as the frame's enough IMO
