My $2k limit WW Project! [BUILD COMPLETE]
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions on how to lighten this build - they really helped a lot.
And here is the bike I wanted to create - looking how I want it to look.... Thanks everyone!

Sorry everyone. Already went through this at the beginning of this thread - So I was hoping everyone would be able to enjoy pictures of the build without focusing on what words are painted on the bike. But no...
It's interesting that if I had titled this entire project 'my $12,000 WW project' and hadn't been honest about the frame from the first post - there wouldn't be any discussion about paint or decals...
Regardless, thanks to those who submitted useful suggestions to help me. Just know that the bike rides awesome... I couldn't ask for a better bike for $2150. This has been a great project to have worked on - and through posts here and on this site - I've already identified how to get this into the 11b range this winter.
Thanks again!

The bars and decals are stupid as hell - but the weight is quite impressive

It will look better if you remove the Cervelo decal as it's not genuine

Gilli, That is some awesome work you delivered. I'm impressed. Can you please tell me what your findings are with the oval rings. I had a set, but sold them before I could even mount them. I'm keen to hear what they feel like.

I know it's ww and all that but no bar tape or plugs? did I miss it?
Impressive build, and some great deals. 2K is lowest I've seen so far.
