Kudos on the gold leaf work. Looks seriously professional. If you'd like another project, I have a couple frames I could send your way!

Its built up i've been busy riding it! Absolutely love it, rides like a dream, fast, responsive, light, sequential Di2 is a revelation.. i'll add lots of pics asap.



I've just fitted my Madfiber wheels however there is an issue with rear bearing play, wear in axle I think so need to modify it. They used an alloy axle with steel pushfit bearing which has caused a slight groove to occur hence bearing play, I will replace it with a machined titanium axle with ceramic bearings.

Awesome It'd be even more epic if you put those bottles back on your TT bike though.

Awesome build. A conical headset top cap instead of the spacers would look better IMO.

Very cool. Neo-retro. I love it.

Looks like you reversed the graphics at some point? Looks good though.
So part of me wonders if you’ve gone a long way round to make a CR1… they were pretty light back whenever.
Any thoughts on weight, geo etc in comparison? No criticism implied, I designed and procured a Ti frame just because I was curious about the process

[Clannagh]

It's quite close geometry to a CR1 now I've converted it. I forget the exact weights but the Addict is a much lighter frame than a CR1. I have fairly stiff joints and stiff back so struggle with reach on a Addict. CR1 geometry is a better fit for me. I had this Addict frame lying around so decided to chop it up and make it fit me. I have a carbon fibre cycle frame repair business so was quite an easy process. First time I've worked with gold leaf very fiddly to get right, I found the more I messed with it the more mess I made! I applied it then clear coated to seal it before flatting smooth and polishing.
