After a lot of sanding, the frame was finally ready for repair and paint. This happend last week. Very happy with the result! It's hard to capture the carbon and black logo's in good photo's but it looks really nice in person. The red spots are filtered out with more black added in the clearcoat layer. Hides the red but you can still see carbon structure.
So this weekend I started the transplant from the S frame to my new naked M frame. A lot of stuff was just switching and then I had some other components waiting to be put on. This really is my dream build. Like the minimal raw look combined with the blue accents and SID. Bike is really build for speed. Final result is 8,41kg all inclusive. So even better than the 8,5kg I was secretly hoping for. Frame weight original was 1,080kg, after repair and coating it is 0,935kg. So I won 145g on frame. Other parts like steer, stem, grips,... did the rest. For reference I weighed the naked S frame and this was 1,065kg. So between S and M frame only 15gr weight penalty.
Enough babbling, here are some mandatory pics!
Shaving off more weight. Tips?

Looks real nice, nice color coordination, maybe cut the derailleur a bit shorter so it doesn't get caught in the pulleys

... resisting to press the Buy button
Why didn't you choose the Leonardi pulleys ? For the white color ?
