I dig the Paves as well. I actually run the same crank set-up with Stages. Works like a charm and I can have a power meter on either of my two bikes within a minute and a single wrench.

Do I really need to go on a ride with you today, Monza36? :unbelievable:

Well, as some guy suggested a few updates:
Reynolds Assault wheels
Schwalbe One Tubular tires (weight took a bit of a hit there)
Sram force 11 speed shifters
At first I had covered the red dots on the Sram group with black tape, but I have found that the wife white nail polish is awesome touch up paint.

I'll make a picture of the updates today. Need to head out, Monza is waiting with his custom S5.

The big question is: do I need to sand the stem to get rid of the logo's?

Sand? Why can't you use acetone?

Because on the ARX LTD stem the markings are under a layer of clear.

Didn't realize 3T changed and put the decals under a clear. None of mine are like that. Yeah, I guess you will have to sand the clear off to get to the decals.

Reynolds wheels are well matched with this bike. Maybe if you remove "assault" inscription they will be cleaner, but it's not really necessary.

This bike looks phenomenal!

Thanks for the compliments Dino0204, I had thought about removing the logo's, but it just seems to much work and the wheels do look good combined with the frame.

Now the other question is: do I need to sand the stem to get rid of the logo's? (pic on page 3)

I did a (bad) paintjob and I do think it looks better with a blacked out stem.
