I love it. Keep us posted on the build... for some reason it has been a while since I saw a Crumpton in the intro section and I was beginning to suffer from withdrawal symptoms.

Stunning! Like the new style graphics.

I really like how that looks, does it have the random carbon piece pattern his SL's are known for or is it a solid color.
Wow, that will suit a 2011 or 2012 SR11 perfectly

Really nice Lionel. Especially like the saddle and bartape touches where you see a little red through the perforations. But, and this really sticks out to me.... the the cabling looks haphazard. Such a nice build with such attention to detail everywhere then the cabling gets all messed up. It may just be the camera angle but the front brake cable housing looks way too short. Also, the derailleur housings look to be of very unequal lengths, the front derailleur cable housing looks way too long and the rear dérailleur cable housing looks too short. I think at this point a redo of the cabling with the same attention to getting things right as was taken with the rest of the bike is in order. And that is a very easy fix. But excellent job overall.
