Tarmac Etixx QuickSTEP edition with eTap
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Still haven't gotten around to the bar tape, but since I have a brake cable replacement due I'll get to it soon.
Got some new wheels I wanted to share. I also swapped out the crank for the new model and it's BB30 this time. I have use for the other one on another bike so not a waste of resources.
These are the AForce SL33 rims. With Carbon-Ti hubs the set weighs 1450g. Looking forward to some better riding weather.

I'll take some more pics of the Spooky soon. I have a nice setup with that one now!
I can't honestly say I feel the difference with the new crank. If I didn't have use for the GXP on another bike (going on the Spooky) I would have dropped needless money. But since I wanted another power meter...
Paint is stock. I just gave it a good cleaning and a little polish before the pics. The paint is really stunning up close. Lots of details, not just another black bike.

@ergot... that's nice. In the photo on the bench, those rims almost look as though the brake track is not the widest point of the rim, meaning it "looks like" the rim is a little bulbous below the brake track. I'm thinking it's just the lighting and camera angle that makes it look like that?
Also, please do take it out in some nasty weather for a couple of days to see if that anodization holds up at all. I actually don't mind the wear marks as anodization wears off, it looks ridden. I have found that on my Nemesis rims, if they only see good weather the anodization will hold up a very very long time, but as soon as anodized rims see foul weather, it only takes a ride or two to wear it off in good order. No big deal...
Will look forward to your ride experience with these wheels.
Bike setup looks perfect, except for the tape job, but you're aware of that.

the rims do have an angled brake track a la Zipp 101.

Why's that? It's a pity neither Shimano or Look make nice pedals in silver any more.
Those pedals are 17 years old! Still spin like they have unsealed ceramic bearings in them and I haven't serviced them yet.
