I know you've seen lots of these but here's mine anyway;

Apologies for the spacer tower, just too old and stiff.

Nice. Forget about your age. Slam that stem.
I do like the sloping top tube of the Cervelos :thumbup:

Sweet ride and low weight. I like the low profile wheelset. Congrats.

That Easton post is a prime candidate to be replaced by carbon candy from MCFK, AX, etc.

How are you making out with the Vuma crank? I've happily had mine for >4 seasons and counting. Outside of updating it to the latest 10/11 rings and a new BB along the way, it hasn't been an issue. I'm bummed out Zipp / SRAM discontinued it, but I've got a got a spare Vuma BB just in case they get hard to find in the future (hasn't happened, yet).

I have the same post but removed the decals with a razor blade. Good looking bike I don't think the stem height is too bad.

Thanks for the comments, I just took a quick picture because the sun was out so the matching New Ultimate post and Zero G brakes which are usually on it are on another bike just now ( normally weight closer to 5.6kg ).

The Vuma Quads have been trouble free so far (fingers crossed) just had to replace rings a couple of times and they've seen service on 4 different frames and 15000+ mls.

With this spare time on my hands I decided to wrestle this poor old thing off the turbo and stick some wheels I got last year on it (hunt hill climb specials - those continental tubs must have a lot of sealant in them). Thought it might have been a bit lighter tbh. It's also gained a carbon S Works saddle, some Hive/Revl brakes and Fibrelyte rings since it last graced these pages.

Some eBay bargains- enve 4.5/ Chris King tubulars, added to some other changes over the years. Weight has gone up with etap, Quarq pm and dura ace brakes. Weight has gone down with Darimo post and berk lupina, total now 6.12kg with pedals, bottle cage and wahoo mount.
