Nice build for your first road bike.
IMHO Zipp 101's won't give you much advantage over your current wheels weight wise and are too shallow for any real aero advantage.
Zipp 404's will give you more advantage even though a bit more expensive.

I've read that, some pro's using that comb. so i gave it a try..
Duraace crank, cassette and chain with red shifters, derailleurs and brakes.

I think the Zipp stem looks more out of place than the crank. Nice bike otherwise.

I think the wheels look more out of place than the crank or stem. The stem works well simply because of the logo colour.

But, really: nice build, congratulations, now go ride your bike!

Guzel olmus, hayirli olsun

How is riding in Istanbul, by the way? I lived in Izmir for 12 years, and having visited Istanbul a few times, I am curious to hear how the riding is and if there is a big roadie crowd.

Zipp is a bit heavier than my previous ritchey wcs carbon stem, but when sprinting or climbing out of saddle difference is obvious.



Tesekkur ederim, iyi dilekleriniz icin..

It depends on your location.. For ex. the area i live is very convenient for cycling(at least in Istanbul)
And yes, we have a med volume roadie group consist of 30-40 person for the weekends . Also have another mixed group including mtb and city bikes, for 2 weekdays.
Hope to meet you on your next time arrival to Istanbul.

Great pics. I really like the B&W color scheme. Maybe more than the blacked out matte bikes.

For what it's worth (and it's not much!), I think the Zipp stem graphics match nicely.

Do the Red LTE brifters have the yellow graphics, too?
