So nice....S3 is super nice, same as I've got on my Mosaic. Jealous of the paint scheme, very nice.

This is a very appealing bike and overall result. The black tape and saddle keep it understated.
Well done.
Well done.
After a month of doing everything from 30min crits to an 8-hour mountain epic, I'm still blown away by this machine. Steerer has been cut down to a level where it's not interfering when I'm in a full-on tuck, but still has some room for upward movement in case of a mobility-reducing injury.
The Schwalbe One 28s at 50/60 PSI ride like a dream and I don't know how I'll give them up, but I'll be throwing on Veloflex Master skinwalls in the next week or so to try them out and will get a proper shoot done.

Updates heading into year 3:
My butt and the PRO Turnix saddle just didn't get along. Went back to a Romin, moved to a 143mm.
My rear Pacenti SL23v2 rim cracked at a spoke hole last fall and the front had a loose sleeve inside from day 1 that I just learned to live with. Finally got around to re-lacing the hubs to Boyd Altamonts. Gained a bit of weight, but hopefully also picked up some marginal aero gain.
Veloflex skinwalls looked great, but were a bit fragile. I swapped back to my trusted Schwalbe One 28s (latex-tubed) shortly after shooting the bike in the original post and have run those as my regular tires since. At 50/60 PSI, this thing is like a magic carpet over everything except the most gnarly broken tarmac and potholes.

Beauty !!! And very decent frame weight !!
I found myself drooling over a superb Ti Naked X last fall at the CX Nationals. They are a magnificent piece of craftsmanship.
They will be sponsoring a Canadian Track athlete. Eager to see their take on track.
