I will do a complete build thread for this baby. I only have 4 weeks to complete before I leave for vacation and I will take the bike with me. So far what I can say now is that, the craftsmanship of this frame is amazing, Jure's masterpiece! The video may not show its true beauty completely. If you are located in LA and around SoCal, you may visit to see the frame in person at Cycle de Pro, located in Sierra Madre. They are my trusted mechanics, although I built and service my own bike, I feel more comfortable to have Simon and Sam at the shop to take care of it.

So far the parts and component list that I have in mind would be:
Wheels: Either Tune Schwarzbrenner 25c or Enve 1.25 with Extralite SPD Disc hubs. I leaned toward Tune's because of matching 3k to complement the frame.
Shimano R785 Di2 Shifter Hydrolic Disc Brake and Di2 FD & RD
MCFK Handlebar and Stem.

Cheers!
Vince

The chocolate accent looks oh so smooth against the 3k carbon weave. Nicely done. I'll be following your build for sure.

46and2, will the frame be at Cycle de Pro this weekend? If so, I'll have to stop by and check it out in person after Montrose.

yes Ryan. It will be there until the end of the month. Just ask Simon or Sam, they'll show it to you. I may ride Montrose too, so see you there.

I will buy the Playboy Slovenia. But why should I read "Slovenska Kolesa Berk"? I will check "Hocem seks, kot ga oglasujejo na TV!"
