Cervelo 2015 Rca 51cm

Conti Gatorskin 22mm tubulars
Ax Lightness Stem 100mm
Ax Lightness Daedalus L1 seatpost
Ax Lightness Ax4100 42cm handlebar

THM Clavicula Classic Crank 130mm BCD
Arundle Mandible cages
Powercordz Prime housing / Powercordz brake cables, Campy shifting cables
2015 SR11 levers & drivetrain 11-29 hybrid cassette
Antares 00 saddle
THM BBright BB
Ward Spindles with X2 kit
Praxis 53/39
Tune U20 skewers
Veloflyte Carbon Bar Plugs
Extralite UltraStar 2 and Veloflyte Carbon cap

The frame is a few grams heavier than my 2013 Rca, the fork is lighter. Overall about 10 grams lighter.

I added weight by going with Campy steel shifting cables instead of the Powercordz shifting cables. I no longer use a liner for the shifting cables and use the Powercordz 4mm to 5mm adapter at the shifters. I found that the Powercordz shifting cables would fray and break inside the shifter after many miles. I switched over to KCNC Ti cables and found that they would break even quicker, right inside the shifter just like the Powercordz. Now I am using Campy steel cables.

On this build I used a Veloflyte UD Carbon cap and love the look. I also have been using the Arundle Mandible cages on all my bikes until I can find a lighter cage that holds the bottles securely. So far no luck with any light bottle cages over pot holes.

Another awesome build, Marty. Did you have to use a Campy FD-CE011 adaptor for the 2015 front derailleur?

I went with the stock 2015 SR levers, FD and RD.

The wheels had the stickers, I have wheels that have the painted logo and like the painted logo. I did not like the stickers so I took them off.

Aargh no, how much extra weight did the red paint on the fork weigh!!!

Apart from the seatpost, that is about perfect.

For sure this is a great WW AND (IMO) expensive built.And I wish you a great time with your new bike.
Sorry ,but the more I look at geometries like Rca and Vial Evo..the less I like it.
