Missed a trick.
Fixed gear and no rear brake. Would gave saved about 2lb!

Looks great, but does he really need a bottle cage? I would have thought that there isn't a hillclimb anywhere in the UK long enough to need to take a drink!

9/10. Lost a mark for not having matching tyres and one for not having matching coloured brakes (red/silver springs) but clawed back a point for the blue QR.

He wants one and it's an 11g Lightweight one, sourced for a fiver. He tends to have a sip part-way then throw the bottle (a team-mate's prepped to catch it).
Agreed. It's a 4.7g integrated one.
We tried for red, but the saddle was sold out when he went to purchase so had to go with blue. Having different tyres means he saved about 70g on a pair of Conti Competition ones. And £50 as he found the new front for £12. The blue QR / seatpost clamp / bar colouring were designed to match the saddle he ended up with.
I wanted red but it wasn't my choice. I like black/red bikes hence my Wilier and Raleigh. And my Raleigh track bike that I had, etc.

What’s the saddle? I like it.

An Elita One carbon saddle, sourced from Amazon. You might not like the lack of padding though: he's got two strips of Supacaz finishing tape at the front to stop slippage and that's all the give there is.
