Cheers!

Yeah, I kinda went rogue and ordered the China direct even though I wanted to stay top shelf with the wheels since I've never had top-class wheels. I may still sell these Farsports and splurge.

The Metrons are basically FSA if I remember, so they should be at least decent quality....plus they were used by the Cannondale team up until this year.

They look great. I'm really interested to see how you get on with them and how well they hold up in use. Did you weigh them without tyres?

Thanks....I think it looks pretty good with the all black wheels. I also swapped out the post to a 3T Ionic Team stealth, and I plan to black out the stem/bars to match as well as cut the steerer (after I slam the stem, of course).

Total bike weight is 7.22kg and the wheels weighed 1,410 per my weight before mounting. The came in under estimate so I was happy with that since I only spent $334 on them.

Those wheels were a great choice, suit the frame really well

Every time you added some black the bike got better, really puts the focus on the frame instead of all over the place. Great bike!

Office pic update! Made a few changes that y'all probably won't like, but I like, so I don't care ;)

54cm and 56cm have 73.5* STA

The stem decal makes the bar tape look natural :)

Thanks! I did that "custom" work on the stem b/c I thought if I blacked it out all the way the tape would look disjointed.

@dogg - yes, that is the MFS tape. I LOVE those dudes!
