That bike looks phenomenal. Those wheels are enough to make me stare. I would be nervous to ride that awesome machine

Starting to get warmer here and looking forward to my first ride on this bike. Will definitely snap some photos with natural light.
Fantastic! I especially like the Berk work.

Just some advise to further lighten up
- replace stock seat clamp (looked like they weighed a tonne) to MUFK or BTP
- ditch the ugly bottle cage. They look so bulky. Try LightWeight or latest Tune
- I reckon you are using SR chain? Try KMC
- I reckon you are using SR cassette? Good enough (don't try Recon, they are as filmy as they looked.)
Sometimes when you build a weight weenie bike, you have to go for durability over weight. I used to run KMC chains and they sucked. I snapped (2) of them. Campy chains are butter smooth. I've now been running Shimano 9000 chains on a Campy drivetrain and it's been amazing!
When it comes to bottle cages, buy ones that can actually hold a bottle! You spend so much on nice printed bottles, only to let your weak Tune cages shoot them on the side of the road on the first bump in the road. Arundel cages are super strong and sturdy and actually hold onto you bottles. Weight weenie bottle cages are also weak and snap easily. I've broken my few shares when ramming a bottle in.
