My favorite, 2006 Six/13, bought it July 2005 and have ridden the wheels off it. Thinking time for an upgrage, so I replaced the Record 10 with Super Record. Shifting on the front is fine with the original Si rings. I'm considering a pr of the Stronglight CT-2's, 10/11 compatible, curious if anyone here has experience.

Not so much a weight weenie, more the training bike, and shown with my beater wheels; Record hubs, 32*/3X, Black Open Pro's and
CX-Ray's. :lol:

Looks great!

Did you have any issues setting up the SiSl cranks with the 11sp SR?

Bikes have come along way in design and composition but I still lust over that EXACT bike. Ah, the days of Lampre Caffita!

Nice bike! Considering exactly those training wheels. Did you weigh them?

Thanks. No problems at all with the Si cranks. Best I recall the wheels were mid 1,500's. After seeing Rich W's training wheels, similar build with OP Ceramic's and red nipples, I wish I'd gone that route. Like the darker rim sidewall better.

The bike definitely looks ready for business. Nothing on her is just for show, all go.
