Fascinating. Didn't know Cervelo did that. Star nuts are kind of annoying; I wonder why they do this?

I can't say why they do it, but doesn't 3T do the same thing? Maybe 3T made the fork?
Thats a really cool looking bike 
Ti or dye!

I might be interested in installing them on a new aero road project.

The Omegas work great with the SRAM levers in this application. I've been extremely happy with them. I would definitely use them in a future aero project, either road or TT.
Thanks for digging this thread up- I love this bike so much; it's horrifically fast and I can't wait to ride it each time, even a full year and thousands of miles later.

I agree, a black chainring would look great!
I'm surprised that you're surprised by the weight as I listed every component with its respective weight.
The wheels are not clydesdale, just the standard. However, since I've had a baby and discovered Uber Eats / Amazon Restaurants, it might not be too long before I need to swap some in

Love the pics and bulid 
. I have the same bike and was wondering if you could give some feedback on the FLO 60s especially on how they handle cross winds and how they're holding up after the amount of miles you've put on them. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
