I've had this frame sitting around for a while as I bought the newer model Urgestalt. It was at a stupid price I just couldn't say no to, plus the old frame had some damage from multiple chain drops.
I also crashed the frame two years ago (me 12 broken ribs and more) I knew I couldn't ever sell it. So with a quite expensive frame gathering dust I thought it was about time to do something with it.
I decided i should get the damage repaired and use the bike as a spare, but then I thought I dont want 3 black bikes. Umm decisions on a colour.
I've always loved the Ford GT40 in liquid red, the colour just pops.
So after many emails back and forth with Glen from Paint my Bike my frame was packed and sent.
The frame was sent today, so hopefully I will receive it in a week or so.
I really wanted to build the bike with spare parts so no more outlay was needed.
Well that went completely wrong. Over the last few months parts have been trickling in, some still to arrive.
Parts to come.
Darimo 3K gloss stem and bars with gold decals.
Carbonworks cages and Garmin mount.
Berk 3K gloss Lupina saddle with red bridge and gold decal to match frame and 3K top cap.
I've also sent a piece of my seatpost to Darimo to make me the post in 3K to. This took a lot a persuading and getting another forum member interested before he said yes. This will make a huge weight saving as the propriety post and clamp are 200g.
The bike will be built with DA DI2 FD, RD, 9150 crank with 4iiii PM.
9070 DI2 shifters and bar end Junction.
DA 11-28 cassette.
Jagwire cables.
EEs gen 4 with red badge.
Berk saddle and top cap.
Xpresso 12s.
Carbonworks cages and Garmin mount.
Darimo bars, stem and post.
Obermayer Schwartz edt with veloflex Carbon tyres.
Still deciding if to go for a gold KMC chain and full red bar tape.
Not to sure weight wise, probably about 5.8-6kg.
