It was really difficult for me to decide on a bike, especially because my budget was originally very tight, fixed right at the point of entry for an Al bike. A chance trip to an LBS that I always perceived to be waaaaaay above my price range was actually very eye-opening. I went to ask about Focus close-outs, of which there were none, but they made me a great deal on a bike I couldn't have even dreamed about a year ago. Or even a week ago. It's still cheaper than some of your guys' “training” bikes, though. And heavier :lol:

Future plans: New cranks. I'd really prefer 165mm crank arms but not at Lightning prices, so I'm curious to see the Praxis/Turn offerings, or maybe go with an obsolete 10sp Shimano crankset. New bartape. A pair of the new carbon composite 5700 pedals later this year or next, classic bars (leaning toward Ritchey), WW skewers/seatpost clamp/etc, and of course, new wheels. Steerer tube will be cut at some point as well.

Without pedals: 17.05 lbs / 7.75 kg (I'm guessing 17.75/8.06 with pedals), but coming from a 26.5lb/12kg mtb, this is a dream come true for me.

Frame Size 54
Saddle: Prologo Nago Evo TR
Bars: FSA Vero compact
Stem: Concept EX aluminum, 110mm (Focus house brand)
Seatpost: Concept EX al
Wheels: Fulcrum 6.5 (OEM for Focus)
Crankset: FSA Energy 50/34
Chain and Cassette: 5700
Levers: 6700
Front/Rear der: 6700
Brakes: 6700
Pedals: 5700
Cable housings: Jagwire

Internal routing starts at the front of the headtube, cable housings don't even touch the paint:

Under the BB:

Full-carbon dropouts make for cool routing out the back as well, but a little crude at the exit site:

Monostay/yoke thingy:

Metal plates to prevent frame damage in the event of a dropped chain:

Looks great man! Every time I see one of those on the road it's a head turner - not so many bikes do that to me these days.

I also look forward to the eventual upgrades, tuning, and heavy modifications that we can influence you to do. :twisted:

This all looks very familiar!! Again, congrats on the new bike. I've always loved the Focus bikes, but I can never find one in my size. That should tell me something, huh?

It's a Focus-edition Nago Evo. It's on the 4.0 and higher. The rails aren't colored on the clamping area though.

A lot of the weight is in the wheels so if you're looking to shed some grams start there! Looks like a really solid riding frame with looks to match. Congrats

Very nice !

I have just put down a deposit on an Izalco Pro 2 with UDi2 - can't wait :)
Need to choose some sexy wheels to go with it though.
