Looks great. Proper picture made all the difference. Would love an SRM too.

Ha so you're the lucky one that snapped that up at the last second on eBay the other day! Bargain. I was slightly put off by the chainrings.

looking good! might be interesting with the 55t big ring on the Rotor SRM…
The CCU's are fantastic wheels but maybe not the best fit for the aesthetic of the S5, IMO looks best with 60-80mm rims (ENVE 6.7, DA C75, 808's) but still a beautiful build.

Thanks. I am a numbers orientated person so I figured that an SRM would be a good training aid / motivator for me. Looking forward to putting it on and getting some numbers out.

Guilty as charged. That was in the work carpark on the iphone. I got stuck in traffic and almost missed it.

Hmm, yes, 55t + weedy legs = :oops:

Regarding wheels, yes, I can understand where you are coming from, but TBH, I am not a massive fan of really deep rims. I guess that is just me. Where I live in the UK I seem to have a permanent crosswind / cross headwind. Probably something to do with my weedy legs as mentioned above!!
