Long time lurker on this forum so I thought it was about time I joined and shared a couple of my bikes.
Hardly a weight-weenie - I think this comes in around 9.5kg but I love it. Commissioned through Bespoke Cycles in London it's essentially an Indy Fab Planet X steel CX bike but with a few extra bits (rack and mudguard eyes which were painstakingly bonded to the Enve forks by Parlee apparently), and a Molteni-esque paint job which really pops in the metal.
Specs are fairly generic:
Ultegra mechanical Hydraulic Disc groupset
Fizik bars, stem, post, saddle and tape
Hed Belgium+ rims laced to Chris King hubs
I can't take credit for the pics - Bespoke did those and I think Indy Fab are using them on their website at the moment!

Thank you! The guys from NH did me proud!
It was intended to be a bit of a do anything bike - so far it's been a winter bike with guards, a summer bike for those occasions when I just want to ride my bike rather than train. Next plan is to change the tyres for something more 'CX' or gravel and use it as more of a go anywhere thing.

You say" mechanical hydraulic" when you refer to your brakes. I can't quite see in the pictures. But do you have some sort of hybrid brakes? Or are they just mechanical discs?
EDIT:
My bad. Thought you just had Ultegra STIs but they are hydraulic ones. Ignore me and enjoy your awesome bike.

Yep, sorry about that... mechanical as opposed to Di2
