Not yet. Have been a lot of offers, but not anything satisfying yet.
Update on the Canyon, is that it got it's stickers today, and the final layer of clearcoat. Assembling most of it tonight, but I'm missing cables and saddle, which I will have by tomorrow morning.

This is the best I can do at the moment. I just mounted the groupset, and will get it done tomorrow.

Done... sort of.
I would have preffered a pic with the Lightweight, but you guys have to settle for this, for now.

Across fittings system. (Will be replaced with FSA Override 2)
Seatpost FSA K-force, white sticker removed, clearcoat finish

When looking at this bike now, I feel a bit dissappointed. I'm sure the bike itself, would look better with black bartape and saddle, but as I'm riding with white helmet and shoes, I think the overall setup is better. And I'm not sure about the tanned sidewalls at the moment. I will post a pic with Lightweight and black Veloflex Carbons, as soon as I get the wheels back. I think that would be alot better.
And yeah, I do realise that this thing is a complete copy, of a special Parlee on this forum. ;)

You state that you've modified an Ultegra 11s cassette. How exactly?
I'm still running a 24mm version of the Strada in the front on my Al wheelset. I hope yours hold up a bit better than the couple I've gone through. Nice look, though. I also have the 7850 version of the C24s, by the way.

Use a dremel or what else you can find, and remove between 1 and 2 mm of material from the back of the cassette.

I want that black Madone back... :cry:


But I understand you! You wanted something new, more stiff, etc. :thumbup:

Thanks. I guess it's a lower-risk undertaking to dremel the cassette instead of the freehub body. Interesting nonetheless, or exactly for that reason.

This is nice-but probably, black sidewalls and saddle/bartape would look better.

The best thing about this bike is that it stands up by itself ;)

And that lovely paint finish, of course.
