FM069 just arrived, will unpack it all properly when I get home but looks great from what I can see so far. I'm out of action for another 10 weeks with a snapped tendon so won't be able to ride it until then. Pics aren't great. Meant to post this in the FM066 thread.

Just quickly weighed the frame and bits on the kitchen scales, bit difficult to get an accurate measurement of the frame but does look like it's heavier than what they say (870g).

FRAME - 930
FORKS - 340
BARS - 300
SEAT POST WITHOUT TOP CLAMP - 131
STEM - 121
BOTTLE CAGE 25

I have a mixture of groupsets; rival, force and ultegra with a total weight of 2249g and that's with a 11-32 cassette. The wheels will be my Zondas.

Nice looking frame. The seatpost looks like my Specialized FACT carbon seatpost.

I suspect that the manufacturers 'claimed' weight was without the f/r derailleur hangers installed and no cable liners/cable ports in the frame.

A mate came round last Sunday and I helped him start building the bike until it started to rain so we packed up. Borrowed the seat post from my winter bike. There's no rush, all thing
s going well it will be 8 more weeks until I'm allowed back out cycling but started back on the indoor bike this week so that was good. Plan is to put in 8 weeks of solid indoor training, will be boring but better than doing nothing. Will get the bike completed in the next couple of weeks.
