One Kinesis TK2 frame, DC07 carbon forks (which look easily as nice as the Easton ones). Got some Easton bars (white EA70 not sure if I'll go with these tbh, they're the right width and colour but the curve might be wrong for me)

Got the shimano r650 brakes... oh and a carbon FSA spacer. No reason for it other than it looks funky, it sure as hell aint any lighter than the alu ones I've used in the past. :laugh: The saddle is an SKN in white Selle San Marco and looks awesome!

Dead excited. Shame I just cant jump on the thing and ride it, haha!! :blush: Theres still the other half to get like gears, wheels etc... :blush:

Loverly! I bought the cherry red frame. Is that Aksium on there? Might be doing the same as I loved my old ones.. Though the Jake has custom Open Pros with Hope Pro3s, if I cant afford that then Aksiums will end up on there.

What bars have you got? They look quite deep and traditional. :laugh:

I have the similar bike (last year's paint job) as my commute bike. It is quite excellent and for me a good upgrade from my ageing ribble. I took some components from the ribble and added a few bits - am very happy with it. Hope your new bike turns out as well as mine did. I much prefer the 2010 paint colours.

i've also got a set of open pro's with ultegra hubs as the winter wheels


2009 ea70s? Mine look... different. More compact. Spose it could be the camera. :tongue:
