I don't like the colour. It looks very delicate. Also I'm not keen on the joins round the head tube. I like Berks earlier looking bikes [ simple classic]. I'm not keen on the strange angled stuff "personal choice"
I'm sure it will look great built up and congrats.

IMO Cervelo looks more classy.

Hi, thanks for the compliments! Hope coppercook62 will enjoy it, the weight was if I remember right 842g with the derailleur hanger, that's around 827 for the frame. The paint adds some weight, but it's a project that inspired me to paint also my own frame. Can't wait to see more photos, thanks for the updates!

Nice build and good overall weight. Did you get a chance to weigh the fork?

Nice, light and clean! One Berk logo and nothing more. The saddle combo is padded?

Yes it is padded. On the fence with chain thought I would try it out. At least the blue matches. No I didn't weigh fork. Thanks for compliments. The reason I decided to paint it was because my Crumpton SL is matte.

Lovely frame and great build. That chain is a little much though. Think there is so much blue on the frame that it doesn't need any other matching - but the cable crimps are nice.

Congrats. Looks like a very interesting bike. You are going to have something different in your riding club.
The only two things that I do not like; The classic handelbar does not look good with these modern frames. The tape is a bit bulky, other than that great.
Also, tel us about the ride!
