New project....

That is lovely, too nice to ride!

Looking good, though personally I'm not sure about the saddle. I suspect that may change when everything is finished off.

I was a bit sceptical myself but hopefully when finished with the Brooks bartape it should look OK

I think it looks fabulous and great choice with the Di2 hydro setup. It's going to be a similar bike to my Pilot, I think you're going to rather like riding it

 

[Sniper68]

All Di2 internal wiring,junction boxes and battery installed.Braided hoses fitted.Just waiting on a clamp adapter for the front mech as it's braze on.Ordering rear mech and crankset shortly.I've decided to go for a sub-compact either 48/32 or 46/30.Miche do some nice looking cranksets,a bit cheaper than Ultegra but a tad heavier.Hopefully have the Wheels built in May or June so this thing should make it's Summer debut.It's debut was supposed to have been Mallorca next month but obviously that's not happening.Fitted Brooks bar-tape but it just wouldn't wrap right on the Aero-bars despite trying a couple of times so fitted some Velox soft-grip instead.

(cable-ties are a temp fix until the new fitting strap arrives)

 

[AndyRM]

Well that's me converted to the saddle colour. Shaping up very nicely indeed!

Fab looking frame. That'll be one classy bike when finished.

That's looks rather elegant! At a glance its got that modern retro look, a bit like the very first Porsche 911 but its fitted with bang upto date running gear.

 

[Sniper68]

Very nice indeed, thats going to be a cracking bike

This looks serious sweet and I nearly bought a litespeed that was on sale to create something like this.

Credit to you hard work for creating a superb looking bike.

 

[Hudson1984]

that's a cracking build! bet it'll ride well

 

[Sniper68]

Finished
(Well waiting for pedals)

8.2kg/18lb without pedals so not too bad
Di2 is an absolute dream to set up.I have however ordered the wrong battery(SM-BTR2) so although everything works I can't use the Syncro-shift unless I replace it with a BTDN110A1.....expensive mistake!

I'll post up more photos when the pedals/cages are fitted and it's a nicer day for photos.

Debating whether to spend the ££££s on Titanium bottle cages now
