She started life as an Allez Sprint Disc Comp bought new on-sale last year for a price too good to refuse.
With a few tweaks, I feel like I've basically got a slightly heavier and slightly less aero Venge for a fraction of the cost.
I immediately swapped out the BB and replaced the gross stock praxis cranks with an ultegra pioneer dual power meter. That plus the 46x28mm LBs I had on-hand got me this:
More recently I added a power saddle, hot-waxed chain, DA rotors, and LB's new WR65 (65mm deep, 32mm wide) wheels wrapped in tubeless Schwalbe Pro One TLEs:
The wheels measure about 32.5mm wide externally and the tyres are a shade over 30.5mm with that huge 25mm internal diameter, so they're >105% and thusly both fast AF and all but invisible to crosswinds. It's quite remarkable. The ride is amazing, too, notwithstanding the crazy high stiffness of such deep wheels with so many spokes, on an already stiff AF frame.
So there you have it. I love my modest little build and I hope that you do too.
