Sounds like a really nice set up, Do you have any pictures on the forum?

yes, there is an older topic about my focus, i did not look after it for quite a long time and deleted older pictures.
but i used your question as an opportunity to add a few latest pictures, which you can find under this link:

sorry for the bad picture quality, regards,

Looks good, love the wheels!

I actually had the same frame colour as you when I first bought the bike but the fork had a crack in the steerer tube and focus couldn't get me a yellow replacement so sent me a brand new frame and fork in red!

yes, the zipp 202 is a very nice wheelset, perfect for the mountain-area (if dry conditions)
a set of zipp-tuubulars would significantly reduce your bike`s weight at one go.

looks great, nice and clean!
may i ask:
there is a recall of the acros-headset, which is replaced by a fsa. did you replace your acros, or are you going to keep it?

Under 7.0?

Maybe remove the threaded nuts on the valves and replace with a small rectangle of electrical tape and lighter bar tape for cheap.

Saddle, i guess you can save arround 100g (if not more). Good looking bike

Hello, Thanks for making me aware of this. I did not realise there has been a recall, do you have any information on this? i.e a website link?
I guess it would be a warranty replacement and I would have to take the bike to my local Focus dealer.. I am unsure?

Hello,
regrettably there is no link, replacement is arranged by responsible dealer.
i read about it in german "tour forum":
http://forum.tour-magazin.de/showthread ... Izalco-Max
so you have to contact your dealer to initiate replacement-procedure.
i contacted my dealer on 16.11., he transfered my request to derby-cycles, but no answer until now (ok, 4 days!;-) )

I was in the dilemma between Focus Izalco max 5.0 (2015) and Giant Tcr Sl 3 (2014)... Went with giant in the end, because it was 600€ cheaper, and i hated new fsa slk chainset on focus...

Your looks great, never would ditch shimano crankset performance for some of fsa lightnes... Im realy, a fsa chainset hater..

hi,
i asked dealer for replacement, but i did not get the expected fsa headset, its an acros "the clamp" headset (now i have two! ) he sent me, with a gigantic expander plug. he said, expander not necessary if using carbon-paste and appropriate torque.

but i wanted to return to a classic headset, so i got a cap (had to work a bit on it) and a ultralite expander by myself and combined it with the acros-bearings.

What a beauty! Gratulations to the bike!

[oliadams92]

A small upgrade; the new Carbonice seatpost clamp (6.6g) to replace the heavy 19g focus one. Also cut the base of the seatpost down an Inch.
