Hi all, first time posting here.
I had this bike for a few months now, and for my 40th birthday my wife just gave me these wheels

. I'm really happy with it so I thought to share a few pictures.

As far as specs, here is what I can think of:

Frame: MCipollini RB800
Group: Campy EPS Super Record 11
Wheels: ENVE 3.4 with powertap G3C and Dash Mira front hub
Tires: Continental GP4000 S
Handlebar and stem: 3T Rotundo Team edition with Lizardskins tape and ARX LTD stem
Saddle: Fizik Arione
Bottle Cages: Elite Patao
Pedals: Look Keo

That's it for now...Thanks!!

Very tastefully put together! Enve wheels, Campa EPS... wow!

And I guess it's true, it never rains in Southern California. Beautiful weather on your pictures!

Great looking build, well done. I would swap out the traditional bend bars for something with a better transition from the tops to the hoods, but no complaints otherwise :thumbup:

Hi kevosinn, in regards to the frame I am really happy with it. I had a couple of Magnesium Dogmas prior to it and I like this one just as much (and I really liked the Dogmas, but I broke the two). I also ride a Look 595 and a Cervelo S3 and the Cipollini feels better to me.

It picks up speed very easy on sprints and it is comfortable on long climbs.

The internal wiring is way too complicated and tends to rattle, but this was the first EPS they put together at the shop so I'll probably do something to the cables at some point. The ride quality and the craftsmanship make up for that though :wink:

As far as weight, it was just under 15 pounds before the carbon wheels so its probably over that now. I'll double check at the shop when I get time.

Thanks guys for looking at my post!!!
Renato
