Frame: Storck Visioner C G2
Fork: Storck full carbon tapered
Group: Shimano Ultegra Di2
Crankset: Shimano Ultegra 6800 2015 / 172.5 mm / 50/34 / PF86BB
Cockpit: Tune carbon post / Storck stem / 3T Ergonova Team Stealth bars (now switched)
Saddle: Tune Kim Vor + custom colors
Wheels: pictured with Xentis Squad 5.8 Silver Line UD tubulars

This is Storck's heaviest road frame but still a great race rig that goes toe to toe with the biggest brands.

This is Jesse the Wrench's rig so I'll get him to answer any queries!

Love the color. Looks good. Don't forget to go Big/Small with pics so you are not cross chained.

That's a nice colour. A good looking bike in general. I'd be happy with that

So the original Visioner C was rated by roadbike.de as the 2nd stiffest bb of all time (Cannondale Super Six non-Evo stiffest). Does the 2nd gen Visioner C still have the same insane stiffness?
Ps what's the seatpost?
Pps reckon u could colour match a stem and seatpost to that blue? That'd be cool

Seatpost is tune's carbon baby. Super light at under 200 g and has a reinforced clamping zone too.
And yes, this bike is STIFF in the BB.

Hey @wheelsONfire

Those are the 2015 narrower rims.
I just did get my first set of 2016 wheels in for testing with more coming in the next month if you're looking for a pair.

Here is the newer and wider set which I should probably start a thread about:

So just curious, how's the braking on these wheels? All the carbon wheels I've used left me wanting for better brake performance and I stumbled on Xentis and would like your opinion on how well their brake track works.

Big fan of the Xentis brake surface. Ramps up nicely with serious bite at the end.
Probably also the most durable brake track I've seen.
To be honest, similar to the new Campy carbon brake track.
Talk to me about Xentis if you're on my side of the Ocean for the best WW pricing.

Pertaining to the rims what exactly does the wavy carbon do? Besides look cool is it just a brake surface? Would be cool to see some company take a try at carbon rims with raised surfaces. Similar to zipp nsw...
The hubs look super slick.

Overall a sick bike with quality parts.

@mts595
It's an aero feature, actually, found on the 42, 58 and 75 mm wheels.
Velo News found it really did work in last summer's wind tunnel shootout when Xentis finished top-3.

Yep, please do start a thread. Very interested in these new Xentis Sliverline wheels with wider rims and carbon front hub, in particular the Squad Silverline 4.2 clincher. Previously owned a set of Tune Schwarzbrenner 42c wheels that used the older, narrower Xentis rim which really impressed me.Ta
