Here's some obligatory scale shots:

The post will be cut down about 10cm so that should be a good chunk less.

This will awesome build! As I'm watching this and godzukis - makes me want to sand shifters, frame and what not.
Then I remember what an fatty I ride and cba due the sheer amount of work (and season is on).
Can just admire these, keep up the good work

Cryptic barstem with the matching ink blot logo would be dreamy as hell. The finish on your frame is just perfect. Are you going to throw your RZRs on there with the cryoblue brake pads?

I would definitely paint the Campy blocks to match the rest :)
Very inspirational stuff, I must say.

These blue accents are stickers or paint? Do you put some clear coat over them?
Really nice!

I agree with godzuki... you need a bar/stem combo ;)

Everything you see is painted. There is no decals or stickers used in any of my paint jobs.

Wow, this build is looking better and better on every photo update. I like the blue on the frame, looks really nice. Personally, I think a little blue on the seatstays would have been nice. You'll definitely need to swap out those red pads for Reynolds Blue or Cryo's as per Godzuki's 2 cents.

If thise are 9g Corima cork pads, it'll be hard for a ww build to use any other pads that's more than double that weight [emoji1]

They're Campy red pads and work very well so I don't think I'll be replacing them unless I can source some Corima pads.

@Godzuki, nope I sold those a little while ago. After my bad experience with Tune Skylines, I think the only sub 1kg wheelset I'll consider is the LW Obies or maybe Schmolke TLO 30s with Carbon Ti hubs.

Atm, waiting for a package from Germany before I can complete the build. With Bora 50s weight should be 5.2kg on the dot. I kinda want to make this the go fast bike since it should be a good deal stiffer than both the Litespeeds which is at odds of making it super light.

For now, I swapped the bolts on the Kalloy stem:

What happened with the Skylines?
