Very chique, could you please post a build list?
And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.

It's lovely. Really lovely...

BUT.

That delicious (and expensive) bar tape really needs a MUCH better job doing on it - both sides are wrapped the same way for one thing! Please watch a YouTube video and re-wrap it, or read this and re-do it. :shock:

Very classy and beautiful build. The Boras compliment it oh so well. I know this isn't a WW build but do you know overall weight?

My guess around 6.5kg.

I have not weighted it but yes with the Boras it should be around 6.5kg.

Amazing build!! Well exectuted color scheme and complimentary parts. Would agree with the other comments that a bike of this quality deserves to have the details like cabling and bar tape done correctly.
