Spooky Supertouch frame set off the Paceline. Super stoked to add another sweet alloy race bike to the stable. Will be built up 1x11 Chorus

Going to try a pair of Vittoria Diamante Pro Radiale in 24mm width. Very mixed reviews out on t'interweb but I am curious to see whether a radial casing makes a perceptible difference.

Why the sad face? Because it is a new tub with no aging? How much did the Masters weigh?

Did a quick spin around the block. Shifts great and quieter then my worn out Force rings. Using a DA 10-speed chain.

Out of curiosity: How many miles did the Force rings do?

Well I technically bought it two weeks ago but after two days to get the country then two weeks sat in customs, got stung for a whole £24!

Buying as much of the build as possible second hand so may take a while to get it built.


(and the important detail: kitchen scales showed 2.1kg but I doubt their accuracy)

That photo looks awesome... til I looked at the poor rear derailleur... :o

Big chainring, small sprocket always looks best in a photo :)

Everything else about the bike looks fast though :P

Are you a triathlete? I'd expect this from them, but not a road cyclist/racer.

Triathlete woulda pointed it backwards for aero benefits. I think at this point you have to return your zipps after embarrassing yourself on the Internet.
