Not the best looking bike but I'm super happy to have my first sub 6kg bike.
Overall pretty standard.
I made the seatpost out of an old Syncros carbon one and a few bits.
Cheap eBay saddle.
Deda stem.
Giant carbon bars.
Cero RC25 1250g carbon clinchers.
Fitted the new cables today.
Stages Cannondale SI crank arm.
Intrepid chain.

If I'm honest I'm not keen on the colour but at £1800 down from £5000 I can live with it.

Many thanks.
It's not that bad, something's just not clicking aesthetically.
As a guy living on bike shop wages I can't bring myself to repaint a perfectly good frame when I haven't even ridden it yet.
Perhaps next year I'll get a retro saeco paint job.

I've deliberately avoided the spidering, It's not that I don't like it I just prefer a plain black simple chainring.
I like a crank that looks light.

I'm looking for other ways to loose weight without getting silly?
I'll be getting an MT Zoom seatpost clamp but that will only drop 10g.
I'm very impressed with alligator cables.
The build cost me around £2000 so far.
