Steve Potts Silk Ti LT
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
10.2 Kg (22 lb 10 oz) right now
The highlights: xtr Di2, kappius wheelset (240 points with 1.5 degree engagement), Brakeforce one H2O brakes, carbon ti rotors, cane creek eewings, e13 trs-r 9-42 cassette, Zirbel wisent handlebar with di2 battery/junctions/shifter/bar end charging all built in.
Still working my way through the stem length and rise, flipped the stem, looking at options there. I like the looks of Ti stems but they tend to be on the heavier side.

If you want to see 'meh' content of me and my bike you can follow my life in pictures here!'Tape was made to wrap your GF's gifts, NOT hold a freakin tire on.'
The eewings are great, easy to install, silent and they feel solid, sort of boring in a good way Could have saved 30 grams with raceface next sl g4 but it was hard to pass up the eewings on a ti bike.
Next steps are stem once I figure what length and rise feel good (Mcfk? to save ~20 grams vs adding 40-50 grams for a potts ti stem), darimo lay back seatpost (save ~50 grams vs the current ritchey superlogic), berk lupina saddle (save ~50 grams vs sqlab 611 carbon which I don't like so far). After that I might consider an extralite headset, carbon ti thru axle. It's a pretty heavy frame to be 22+ pounds with all the weenie parts but I'm really enjoying it

You have to deal with John Castellano (MrPivotless at castellanodesigns dot com) who designed this bike and the regular silk ti, bow-ti, szazbo etc. I think you initially talk with Castellano who designs it and then he works with Steve Potts to build it.
