The Mekk is here, it looks beautiful.. Although not sure about the plain carbon finish
Perhaps a painted one maybe better

Looks nice.

Appears to have a large condom on each handle though & the council estate kids have put it on a brick to aid fast theft of wheels.

Ride report to follow ?

Well good on you for ignoring everyone's well meaning advice I say

 

[Brava210]

It was good advice, but not the advice i wanted to hear....

The frame does show, what looks like manufacturing marks, kinda streaks and what look like water stains in a certain light
Must be the bare carbon, as its not painted?

I don't know if I am teaching you to suck eggs here, I apologise if I am.

Those watery marks/manufacturing marks are nothing to worry about, it is simply the carbon which has a marble like appearance. This is the bare carbon & bonding & appears like this from the mould.

Some brands will leave the carbon like this, BMC for example & they are a world renowned brand.

Others will use a different finish, a weave, criss cross that looks really trick but is sometimes nothing more than cosmetic for some brands, while for others it is structurally an integral part.

Thanks, just not used to not being able to give it a Polish

My Rose Xeon is bare carbon and has similar marks, especially in bright sunlight. I just love the silky matt finish

 

[Brava210]

Well, I've given it a quick blast and I am impressed.
A few teeting problems.....the seat slid all the way down, and I kept having to push myself backwards on the saddle?
But the ride, brakes and gears are all excellent, very surprised

Bit of an odd question for this forum but I have purchased a Mekk poggio 3.0 and I cant find it online anywhere now!!! Does anyone know what gearing ratio is on this or how to work out the gearing ratio?
Thanks

Count the teeth on the chainrings/cassette - and then consult a gear table
