New -17 130mm 3T ARX II stem, 3T Rotundo Pro bars (both with decals removed), and new wheelset - H Plus Son Tb14 laced to White Industries Hubs. Absolutely in love with the wheels.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
After a very long search I found this frame NOS on ebay about 3 years ago, and since then it's been through a few iterations.
It's my do-it-all bike on a budget, I guess. Commuter, racer, and training bike. As a student I don't have that much in the way of funds to spend on it (hence there is a bit of a mix of components) but regardless, it's an absolute dream to ride!
For the purists out there who may cringe at the choice of Shimano - I just cannot get used to Campag thumb shifting in the drops - and Shimano is what works best for me!
Build list:
Group: Shimano Dura Ace 9000
Headset: Chris King NoThreadset
Stem: Deda Superleggero 120mm
Bars: Ritchey WCS EvoCurve
Seatpost: 3T Dorico
Saddle: Fi'zi:k Arione
Bottle cages: Arundel Mandible
Wheelset: Campagnolo Neutron Ultra (decals removed)
Skewers: Campagnolo
Tires: Veloflex 23mm Corsa
Pedals: Dura Ace 9000
Total weight is about 7kg at the moment, but my method of weighing is very inaccurate as I don't have a proper set of scales. Will have to get a proper weight for it!
Future upgrades/changes: I'll need to swap cables over soon, so I'll change to black housing. Hopefully the finishing kit can all be made uniform eventually (leaning towards Deda at this stage). Finally, the wheels are coming to the end of their illustrious 6 year "career". They have been amazing wheels - seen many potholes, gravel, cobbles, descending in Europe etc. but the brake track is getting to the end of its life so some new aluminium clinchers are on their way soon when funds permit!
Any thoughts on possible improvements - let me know
