Don't the pads and pad holders have left/right markings? They are definitely on the wrong sides.

I love this build. This damn bike is making me spend more money on my build to get it as light as reasonably possible. Damn it.

Congratulations!
This is one of my favorite builds on here.
Deeply impressive getting Titanium sub 5kg.

But really? An in-line seat post. I have never met anyone who needed one on a road bike, but other people tell me such people do exist. So, here's an idea for you ... Find a longish hill with a grade of 5 or 6 or 7 or thereabouts percent, and try riding up it in the saddle.

If you are sacrificing correct position so that you can use your fancy lightweight in-line seatpost that former mountain bikers sometimes like the look of, that is a mistake.

Not sure I like the look of that Reynolds fork. Looks like it is designed to take fenders.


I have never met someone as snob as you. There is nothing wrong with zero setback seatpost if the position fits him. Find a longish hill with a grade of 5 or 6 or 7 or thereabouts percent, and try riding up in the saddle that is set up too far back for your position.

If you are sacrificing correct position so that you can use your fancy lightweight 25mm setback seatpost that road cyclist sometimes like the look of, that is a mistake.

Right back at you.

After reading your post, hats off to lannes for keeping his cool.

Will you consider selling your Litespeed Ghisallo frame?

The tubes look nice, in particular the bulge butt/swaged seat tube.

You must be taking the piss?! TTers like inline Seatposts to get more over the BB and adopt a more aggressive position..

As a Tester I have inline on all my bikes except my saffron as that is a gravel build so I don't do every ride on the rivet..

However I managed to ride hardknott pass in the saddle with my inline and that is over 33% in places 😂😂

Also that fork is Enve 🤯🙈
