14.96lbs as photographed (i.e. including pedals and cadence sensor). Bit disappointed given the wheels weighed 1031g, but then I'm happy with the build and don't want to swap out the Ultegra groupset (Sram Red black cassette) to chase grams (sorry weight weenies but I wanted quite an understated ride!):

You might have hit the 1000 g mark on your wheels if your had used black or silver spokes.

Otherwise, nice build :thumbup:

Wheelset is DT Swiss RRC425F / RRC525R (aka Reynolds MV32UL laced onto DT180 hubs with DT Aerolite spokes).

I've still got far too much alcohol and chocolate left to consume before it gets ridden - will be pleased when its all over!

still a very good weight all up and with ultegra too. cyfac is a class act.

let us know how those wheels perform.
i've a gut feel they seem too light to feel entirely satisfactory for a tall and poweful rider that you look like you are :wink:

Gothica and yep, custom geo (although the saddle position might look a bit weird it's a result of the saddle shape - but I can sit on a Spoon all day long...).

Position looks too far forward for a regular type person riding in your part of the world .. but that appears to be quite a laid back seat tube.

New saddle:

Just need to get a 10mm shorter stem, move the hoods back and rotate the bars round a bit then I'm ready (when the weather improves!).

Like it lots!!

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Don't think it'll be seeing much puke district action for a while (snow and ice out the window as i type :roll: )

I'd like to see one in the flesh, as i hear good things about them :-)
