Agreed, lovely bike but needs a black headset?

very classy build, i like it!
2 things missing for my taste, classic bars(not only because of the bend, but the bars seem to dominant in the sideview pics), and pedals(although i've never tried them, i can't imagine that these can be as good as e.g. speedplay(light) or dura ace(reliable)...
keep the gold chris king, maybe think about gold tune skewers, skyline time trial for example

i think tune gold skewers would match perfectly. i would go with the quick release and not the time trial version though. the quick release is much more durable. the tt version uses aluminum axles. the tune quick release uses ti axles. weight if i recall correctly is about 59 grams.
i used to use speedplay all the time , but since getting the orbs i much prefer them plus they are a lot lightersimon wrote:very classy build, i like it!

Shouldnt the seatpost collar go the other way since the relief slot appears to be on the front of the seat tube???

Probably not a big deal, but I would have to agree. It would guarantee a more even pressure at the gap in frame.

Congrats juan, let us know how it rides.
It's certainly looking good Juan.
The stem that you mentioned, just recently got a name, it will be called the Zeus. Gaining a name is an important step, it means that it will be going into production(they were previously undecided on that)
No announcement yet on if it will be OS. However the weights will start at an incredible 67grams... I wonder if were starting to push the safety limit with that.
As well, one of the items they currently produce will be getting an even newer higher end version. Of course that's going to mean another price increase on what is already their most expensive piece.
