Hi all. So a few of you probably already know I am building a bike based on the s works venge frameset.
But this one I am doing on a budget!
The frameset is ordered and will be a couple of weeks until I get it for myself as I am having abit of custom painting done which will be inspired by the mclaren venge with the red lines and inner frame highlighting. Apart from the mclaren logo's of course.
So build photo's are to follow as the parts arrive, I shall post pics when parts arrive and throughout the building process. But the parts list so far are below. The wheels aren't permanent they are solely for training and to get me but until the summer when some 50mm carbon's will be put on.
105 5700 groupset /FSA gossamer chainset thanks to @stevede brand new condition £190
105 braze on front mech thanks to @AndyRM £10
Shimano r500 30mm wheelset £85 from ribble
Michelin pro 4 tyres in red (had them already)
Deda rhm bars and zero1 stem just under £30 from ribble
Look keo classic pedals in red £36 from pro bike kit
Deda red bar tape £4 from ribble (probably going to end up with black or red lizard skins)
Sanmarco superleggera aspide full carbon saddle I already had off the old bike.
So not all high end parts but rather more tried and tested reliable parts. Let's see how it goes!!
