Not really apples to apples comparison with a SLR01 now is it.

But ta for the feedback.

Ah... thought I recognised your name. I don't know you personally but I know who you are - good to see you on here! I believe I've been at Newport Velodrome with you, and I know who Rich is as well.

Sick bike you've got there, I wish I could afford Di2!

Please get yourself some decent carbon tubulars though - they make a huge huge difference. I have a very average aluminium road bike with some reasonable (ultegra) parts. I use Zipp 404s on it and it is transformed into an awesome racing machine. ;)

Be interested to see your opinions / comparison between the AR0 and the AR3 after you've given both a decent work out.

Completely forgot to update this thread, without further ado...

Image

The ENVE 6.7s are unfortunately a demo set from our distributer which i was lucky enough enough to use on our training camp in majorca last week. The build with the 6.7s weighs 7.11kg. I can't remember the weight with the racing 1's



I will be swapping out the heavy parts over time for example... ultegra 6600 brakes, ultegra cassette, zipp cages, arione cx saddle and a 105 chain!! Which I will change for the new season, it was all we had in stock 10 speed on the day I built the bike...

but, as I'll be adding tri bars for races, she's never going to be that light.

Currently deciding which wheels to pull the trigger on, ENVE 3.4s or ZIPP 404 Beyond black (tubulars obviously)

Best AR0 on the forum I think, as she's the only one 8)
Thanks for following, Happy riding :beerchug:

That looks hot - one of the best BoB jobs I've seen in a long time.
Those ENVEs look like they were made specifically for that frame! :thumbup:

I don't know about the Zipps. Those ENVEs look like they were designed for that bike. CF matches, logo matches and depth matches well with aero frame. Match made in heaven, go with it. Aero trumps weight anyway.

Looks great overall.

Have to agree it looks amazing with the ENVE wheels on there. Great bike for the road and throw on a set of aero bars and your ready for sprint tri/tt. I know it is not the lightest but I just really like the shape of the AR0...nice build

Awesome build!

AR0 and Smart Enves match perfectly.

No more pictures coming of this beast, stripping it down tomorrow and putting the frame on ebay - current first choice replacement is an SWORKS Tarmac SL4 :)
