Sort of unique because (by circumstance) it has real design wheels which I think used to be the house brand for some of the older litespeed titanium models.

Unpictured: red rear derailleur to replace force, zipp 101s for training, stages/hollowgram pm to replace quarq (unprocured). Any other suggestions?







Not an sexy as a lot of stuff on here, but I probably have less invested than a new set of zipp wheels. And it goes pretty fast.

Your concept of a 'budget' bike is entirely different from mine (unfortunately). Nice bike though!

I rented a C1 on a trip to Florida- very nice bike

Looks great! Maybe some aero brake calipers next?

Not sure whether it would look better with less decals on the wheels to steer the focus onto the frame. Still a very nice "budget" bike!
