This is one of nicest bikes on WW forum.
Only small visual flaw are those red pedals. Other than that, it is perfect.
Thanks Martin,
I couldn't agree with you more, they were on my other bike which matched well.
I'm waiting for Merlin cycles in the UK to get some Xpresso 15s in, out of stock atm, and believe it of not its cheaper from them than here in Australia as the exchange rate is so good.
Cheers

I think the stem's lines go well with the frame. I don't think an Mcfk stem would look good. Granted, I don't really think the Mcfk looks good on many frames, including mine.

Thanks guys, really appreciate your comments. Bike is now in another high end shop sorting out the FD, will be collecting tomorrow so hopefully I can get a ride in Sunday.
Not to sure if to get 23mm tyres as I reckon there's only 2mm clearance between the tyres and the Fibs.
Do you guys feel this might be a problem.??

Actually managed to get time today for a 50km ride through the hills.
Gear changing isn't in the same league as the Praxis. No problem dropping into the small ring as expected, but still not as smooth as I would like going up to the big ring. Depending what cog your in dictates how bad the gear change is. I'll see how I go on another ride to see if I keep the Fibre Lytes, maybe change to Extralite.
One thing I did notice was a constant rubbing noise, I pulled up a few times to check to no avail, wasn't the pads on rims, so maybe the tyre rubbing on the Fibs as there is hardly any clearance. I could drop the psi a little to see if that helps or 23mm tyres. Otherwise im stumped.
Any suggestions guys would be appreciated.
The bike it's self is fantastic, so smooth to ride, I'm no great/strong rider by any means but I had no problem accelerating up the hills and it felt very stable on the descents.
Cheers

Hey guys,
I've managed to drop another 50g by changing the peddles from xpresso 12s to 15s which now look so much better due to matching the frame decals.
Stem bolts changed to TI and Bottle cages from Lightweight to Carbonworks.
Also got some Veloflex Carbons to use soon which will drop another 36g.
Changed the Fibrelite rings for Extralite which gained 12g but was much needed as the shifting was terrible with the FL.
Pics to follow shortly.
Cheers
