Thanks

They are RS10's

I have them on my other carbon bike and have used them for commuting for around 3 months, daily, I think they are great.

Thanks Buddy - Never thought i'd do it TBH.

Will get some proper pictures once I have done the tweeks.

EDIT:

These should be a better resolution.

At the risk of annoying some people can I ask why is your saddle set at such a ridiculous angle pointing down at the ground so much! I see this so often and on lots of bikes pictured here on CC. It isn't efficient, and despite what some say it isn't comfortable as you are always working to keep yourself from sliding forwards. It is often the case that the rider has the saddle set too high and in order to be able just ride the bike they have to tilt the saddle forwards in this way. Take a look at any pictures of any of the Pro riders bikes and you will never ever see a saddle set at this ludicrous angle. There's a reason for that and it's that they will clearly have it at the optimum setting for performance, efficiency and comfort. It's their livelihood so if anybody knows then they do!

Sorry for the moan, it's a lovely looking bike and I'm sure it's a pleasure to ride but it could be so much better. Lower the seat a little bit and level it out - job done!
