Still toying with extralite or Berk combo (painted to match of course)

SR 12 mechanical with THM stuff

Can’t figure out bar tape Color or saddle Color...

Questions re paint :

Absolutely love my V3. It does everything so well. Can't wait to see yours all built up. The painted extralite looks good. I went with an AX stem in the end, smaller diameter stem matches the tube sizes on the bike a little better. MCFK looked big and bulky. Mechanical FTW. My only complaint is how low he mounts the seatube water bottle. It's a bit of a reach for me.

Baller frameset. Props for going the multi-color route.

Waiting to see the complete build. With the rest of the parts blacked out, the frame would stand out well.

Waiting to see the paint matched cockpit items - if you go that route.

Probably save a couple of grams more here and there and I wait for the integrated Berk handlebar stem to come in.

That RCC saddle looks right at home on this build. The down tube decal reminds me of Dominos Pizza we have here state-side.

Well done Ben on a risky paint job that came out amazing!

How would you compare 12sp and 11sp SR with Praxis rings? Any shifting issues with 12sp?

Love the paint scheme but the RCC saddle makes me cringe and I’m a foundation member :noidea:

I like it! Those cages look very low and tight together?

How is shifting with Campy 12-speed and aftermarket chainrings?
