) would seem that my Alero is 08/09. It is the model before they were produced in the 'Oria' mould, unfortunately it was supplied with a 12k fork with alloy steerer, tbh it lets down the overall performance of the frame, it would have been nice to see it supplied with full carbon up front as standard
Sad? How do you think I know that the 2010 Alero comes with a Black Fin fork?
I see you're based in the UK, I think Ribble sells them at a reasonable price...

Hi, did you buy one of those Ebay forks? I have no experience with any of this cheap Chinese stuff (not meaning to be derogatory), I'm curious to hear what your impressions are.
Cheers!

err no, I don't know enough about them tbh, I just didn't want to waste the cash I could have spent better else where
My front end has started to shape up now though .....
I went for a 3T finishing kit in the end

Looking good!
And of course you can always change your fork later when you've found the right one.
Can't wait to see the full build now!

quite busy at work this week, but will try to finish off mid week as I want to test it out if weather is ok next weekend - so will post some pics of completed build soon.
One major negative is been able to see the alloy steerer through the cut out in the rear of the stem
Totally understand where you are coming from regards the choice of fork etc

Cheers NGMN. Thanks for the reply
I am still undecided about the groupset though ....
SRAM Red or Ultegra Di2

It was nice to see that the original(supplied) bottle cage bolts were nice and light and of a nice quality.
Scuro RS Bottle Cage Bolts (Original)The Elite cages came in at an expected weight - not the lightest by a long mark, but I like them and have them fitted to my other Guerciotti and I know they work well on rough roads
Elite Italia CagesStill I wonder why the supplied Deda ISP seat post clamp was such a lump at 170grams
maybe some fettling(Ti bolts
) would reduce it some what
Scuro RS ISP Seat ClampMore to come ....

Do you have the actual weight for this ?
