Great weight and awesome effort in adding some custom yellow flourishes to your parts. I winced at the cost, but guessing everything was bought new. And let's face it, you can't really get sub 5kg "on the cheap". I don't see many Fujis around, but this makes me want to see more!

I tried to cut it off but couldn't get my hands on any tool that can go through titanium so it'll have to stay like this.

Build list with component weight is updated on first post of this thread!

Man, this is such a nice bike! Well done on the specs and build! :thumbup: :D Glad it didn't escape my attention.

I can use a stem upgrade though *hint hint* [emoji12]

Awesome. I love everything except for the tape. Sorry it looks bizarre from where i sit.

Love seeing a build like this come to fruition.

So I got new bottle cages...

It's quite a price to pay for bottle cages but I told myself the Carbonworks 5g version might never be found again once they stop producing this lighter one. Only installed one for now. It seems to hold my purist bottle with quite a light grip, but I don't need it tight in there so that's fine.

The build is likely to stay this way until I can get my hands on a pair of cheap Tune Skyline skewers to drop 10g, or if I ever find a lightweight 130mm stem that doesn't cost more than half a grand. Everything works great right now and I'm in no rush to get these stuff; it's just there to fuel my upgrade fantasies [emoji1]

Can you give a long term review of the Corsa G Speeds? Puncture resistance, wear?

Hey, what's this line on the down tube? something to worry about?

So far, all good after 1200km. Think that mileage is too low for it to show any wear at the moment.

The 'line' on the downtube is the ud carbon layup. Sometimes I mistake them for cracks and chips on the surface too [emoji1]

Yep, my 1.1 has the same UD lines and patterns, quite normal.

These are awesome bikes. I rate the Fuji 1.1 SL as better than my Evo Nano (very close to same weight for total of frame and fork, very similar handling) and the Fuji has the added advantage of not having the silly 25.4 post and equally silly BB30A.

Good weight by the way, nice work! :thumbup:
