Perfect, thanks! I will check tomorrow.

I am really keen to see the finished product. Any hints as to when that might be? The frame looks lovely in those pictures.

This is looking really sweet and I can't wait until Monday. Hope the postie's on time....looking forward to seeing the finished build.

Saddle and lightweight tubes have been sitting in the postal facility 5 minutes from my house for the last 4 days, so I have faith it will finally get delivered tomorrow.

Only other thing I am waiting on is bottle cages, but I have faith those will also come early this week. Soon as I have everything I will photograph. With any luck, maybe Tuesday.
Also have to finish playing around where the cables exit the hoods. I am getting a little bump there. From reading here I understand you really need to tape the cables flat right where they exit? I am going to give that a try.

so keen to see this!

Unfortunately my frame/fork is sitting unloved in a DHL warehousethey are very sheepishly looking for it.

totally keen to build her up and feel the titanium zing!

Any build that starts with a picture of a naked Ti frame with boxes of new Campy parts is A.OK by me!

But the picture would be better with Sram customized without all the crappy graphics.

So it's all built up. The saddle tubes, and cages finally arrived. Got it all built up and going for a shake down ride to fine tune and dial things in. My mistake, I ordered tubes with valve stems that were far too long (out of paranoia—had a pump that had a hard time connecting to short valves and decided to error on the side of caution).

I just shot a few photos in the studio at work. No time to process the rest but thought I would post a really quick one up of the complete build. More detail shots to come later. I don't have my hanging scale here but I will get a final weight shortly. I anticipate it will be around 15.6 lbs or so.



More shots to come later!

Well done!

Excellent! Get out and ride it since not only does it need more pictures but a ride report is a must too.

Couple more shots:

Next up, outdoor shots hopefully.

I did my first ride on the bike after work last night. I only had a small window to ride by the time I made a few adjustments, setup my cleats and got out there so I won't do a full blown report until I get in a couple longer rides.

Condensed first impressions:

- the Tune GumGum doesn't seem very great. I haven't had any luck with this so far. This came with my headset thankfully, but had I spent the money on this separately, I would've been disappointed. It slips, and I was unable to remove the play from the front end. Doesn't take much for the 3mm top cap bolt to get scoffed up either. I ended up using the porky Enve expander to lock things down and then replaced it with the Tune.

- The bike feels fast, and smooth. My Ti mountain bike is a lot more flexy, I wasn't sure how this would compare in terms of stiffness. It felt stiff but with a hair of give; definitely not harsh. It was a great example that some of the generalizations make about frame materials are completely inaccurate. The design of the frame makes all the difference.

- Frame fit felt great so far.

- This was my first ride ever on Speedplays. Clipping in for the first time was a bit weird, but once I got in once, it was dead easy. I know people either love or hate the feel, but probably after 2 short climbs I was in love with the way they felt. I suspect my knees are going to like these pedals very much. Of course I haven't slipped on a tiled floor, or got my cleats clogged up with debris yet, so I could still hate the, but so far so good

- Engagement on the King 45's is great. Hubs are super smooth. They sound so sweet and smooth!

- Shifting was flawless. Love the way the shifting felt at the lever (This is my first bike with Campagnolo). Brakes felt like they had awesome modulation, and power.

- Tires felt great. I ran them at 110 psi, but I think I could even go down to 100 for a little extra comfort.

- Ergonova's felt good. Loved the compact drop. I still need to do a slight adjustment of the bar angle and transition into the lever hoods.

good to see another campy convert and on a Ti frame to boot! I also have to agree that campy has the best feeling shifting.

I really like the way the Enve fork looks with it, very clean. I'm getting tired of looking at my Alpha Q.
