I like the matt red and black. That should look real nice and fast with some deeper CF race wheels for your 70.1!
I assume you stripped the F55 and put the parts on the F1? Any future plans for the bike?

Thanks for all the kind words!!
The "plan" was to buy wheels, but that was interrupted by this frame.
Currently I have a 3T arx 17-degree stem in the mail with a new headset and chain. I went with the KMC gold chain because I was due for a replacement anyway; it seems like a lot of people here use it so how bad could it be. When I was transferring my parts to the new frame I found I had a loose ball headset so ordered a FSA Orbit with cartrage bearings and carbon bits, so it'll be lighter, prettier and better, lol. I got the stem when I got the K-Force bars and have never been terribly happy with it, or the bars for that matter, the arx stem will be a little shorter at 100mm, a bit lower and drastically lighter (~70grams).
For the summer I had the bike set up with a Profile Design fast forward carbon seatpost and a full VisionTech aero cockpit. I'd really like to pick up a second bike specific for TT though. I'd also like to move over to SRAM with this bike. And then there's wheels. There are definitely plans and I'm looking forward to all the light-weight propaganda
