Thanks,
Yeah they are good, FD all sorted and shifting is fine, not as good as the Praxis but superior to the Fibrelite. Glad I changed. !!

I like the bike very much. Only the cages are too "fragile" optically.

Lovely bike but I agree with Sanandreas that a "thicker" or more "solid-looking" cage would work better.

Jure Berk is actually making me some cages in UD with a Matt finish to match the frame, so they will be going on once ready. !!

Hey mate, cheers. They are stored away as spares atm, might put them on the wife's bike or back on mine depending how the new ones go, hopefully Jures will be the perfect match. :D

Cant complain about the new cages at all, there awesome. Much better than the supplied Lightweight cages as the bottle was a little tight to get in and out. My new ones were coated so maybe that helps. Only problem was the crank arm decided to fall off. Image

Post some pics of the Berk cages please! I was browsing his site when I dealt with him recently, a pity he haven't featured them on the site as yet. How much are they btw?

No problem, soon as they arrive I'll post some pics.
When I contacted Jure he had only a few prototypes which he could send or make me some new ones if I was happy to wait a few weeks, so I ordered two in UD Matt finish to match the frame. As nice as Jure is he said if I didn't like them I didn't have to buy them, great service as always. :D price is a lot cheaper than the Carbonworks.

This bike is simply a SAVAGE!!! I would feel like the Baller of the hood riding that. I'd still be slow as heck, but would look awesome. Which, in this sport secretively, it is where is at LOL......

How did the SE crankarm fall off? Did you lose the bearing preload adjuster as well?
