Think you need to add this beauty to your signature mate... What a bike
Thanks mate, she is (belladonna) or did you mean a link to the build thread?
Ride report coming in the next week once I've racked up a few rides, but the initial one on my test loop took over 1 min off my previous PB on my 58 min test loop. And that was with very tired legs! Amazing to see what she can do when I'm fresh

Great job on the build! That color is one of the best I've seen in a long time. Is that just the camera angle that shows the steerer tube thickness looking to vary a bit? Impressive weight as well.

So, pro photos on Ride 24/7's instagram. If you are in the UK they get my top recommendation for a bike build and a LBS to deal with.
Onto the dogma and a ride review. This thing is a weapon. I've only managed 2 rides thanks so UK weather but the speed, handling and way it climbs are all obscene! The 111 tyre has made the front end super stable. It is very stiff and not a bike id take on longer than 100km on British roads, but then the 1x is also uncompromising and that is the whole point of this bike.
If I did take it to Europe on smooth roads I'd happily ride is for much longer and throw a 2x on it. However I have a climbing sturdy which would be better suited to that. This is for road bike TTs and local smash fests and for that it exceeds expectations
