hey guys, lurker for some time.. and finally have something decent to show off.. maybe.

Currently not in the "i'm pretty satisfied" stage (well, to be frank likely never will be), and is a work in progress..

with my "training" set of wheels.

with my "go fast" set of wheels.. lol.

52 Mulholland, with Enve 2.0 fork
Chris King Inset8 head set
Thomson x2 110mm stem
3T Team Ergonova Stealth
Thomson Masterpiece set back
DKG Seat clamp
Selle Italia SLR Carbonio Nero Puro
SRAM Red 22 w 11-28 on the Zondas, 11-25 on the Reynolds.
Kogel GXP BB
Xpresso 10 pedals
Carbonworks bottle cages
Campy Zonda C17 with Vredestein latex inner tube + Vittoria Corsa G+ using J&L nonquick release Ti skewers
Reynolds Aero 58 with Veloflex Arenberg using Reynolds QR skewers

With the campy wheels, it's about mid 15lb bike? not the lightest. Havent tried with the Reynolds yet.

Work in progress as I havent settled on a final wheel choice (likely something shallower), nor stem nor seat post (the stem was free, and the seat post was just installed asap so that i could enjoy the bike). I do have a Kalloy Uno Stem on order though.. :mrgreen:

Very nice, I really like Frank's work, I had one of his frames a number of years ago and it was awesome. Good choice on the raw finish, looks great!

I had no idea that Spooky made road bikes!

Thanks guys! I really dig the raw ano look myself which was why I sold my previous ride in favour of this ('16 Foil 10..).

Concerning the ride, it just feels good. I think it is because the geometry is better for my body than the Foil was? Not sure. Ride itself isnt too harsh and I can stay in the saddle all day, but I suppose that's a function of tire pressure and fit.. Cant find any fault with it though so far..

Love it! I own a Skeletor and find it to be an incredible bike, but have heard that the Mulholland is even better. I'd like to take one for a spin some time to compare.

Businesslike Aluminium is the way forward. Proper race bike.

CrankAddictsRich: I concur. You too, my friend, have excellent taste. It's a tried and true combo that just works every single time :)

Awesome bike - how does it ride? I've got a WIP spooky too, really fun to thrash about.

seen your spooky- love it!

no changes in my impression of the ride yet- its still comfortable for me for long rides and doesnt seem to disappoint for sprinting!

and a brief update- received my kalloy uno 110mm stem with TI bolts from fairwheel.

Since my last post in 2017, I've gotten to enjoy the Spooky a lot more, a CAAD10 and Ryan's old T3. End of the day, the Spooky is still my fav of the three. I find it much more comfortable than the CAAD but less darty; while snappier and practically as compliant as the T3 (call me crazy..). So the CAAD is gone, and the T3 is a topic for another day.. I guess I've been drinking that aluminati kool-aid :beerchug:

So here it is in its current state.

Extralite top cap / Slamset upper / AER Bottom
9100 shifters, FD, RD, crankset along with 4iiii Podium NDS PM. iLink housings, shimano shifter cables
BB Infinite BB
PYC chain
3T Rotundo Ltd wrapped with MFS tape (heavy ass tape.. 80g!)
Berk Lupina unpadded
Ritchey Superlogic Link (cut)
SWorks SL stem 120mm -12.
Speedplay with Ti spindles, bowties and screws.
EE G3 brakes using swissstop.
Roval CLX 32 with sweet sweet 3M strapping tape, Vittoria latex and the older Veloflex Masters 25 (lighter versions)
Carbonworks cages

As pictured, it was a hefty 6.33 kg.
