I have the honor and pleasure to show off GoldKnight's new ride as he is having some minor problems with file uploads.
Whatsoever I know too well that it has been a long waiting time for him to finally be able to put this beast together. I think the outcome is really lovely - see & judge for yourself!

Some detail pictures:
And I know that it should have meant Clavicula instead of Scapula in the list - damn copy and paste.

great bike...
but just a little bit to heavy.
no, i think it's light enough. but some items could you change easily.
the seatpost-clamp. 20gr is heavy. my clamp is around 7gr.
the new ventoux gen III with the black spokes would match very much better.
but in emergy case, you can also take the edding and color the spokes
btw: my seatpostclamp looks also a little bit better

Great bike! I love the way how the frame looks: it looks like it haven't got a clear coat?
One comment: sand the logo's of the fork or get something else... The logos just don't match with the nude carbon of the frame!

thanks for the replies
yes i need that seatpost clamp--where do i have to go to get it?
no sanding on the fork (I will wait for the AX premium series--esp the fork)
I too kthe Scott spacer off and cut the fork down a tad after my initial ride and I must say that the fork rides great (very stiff--and i can compare this to the THM fork, Easton SLX i have) Reminds me of the Alpha Q sub3 fork i once had.

My first response to seeing the weight of the frame was, "WTF? That light of a bike and a 900g frame?" and then I saw the picture of the frame and forgot where I was. There is something about that raw, natural look that just hits me. Absolutely beautiful. I do agree with others in that you ought to get the fork to match, if possible of course.
Couple of notes:
- The crank is the Clavicula, the Scapula is their fork.
- Isn't there an issue with UV when you don't use a proper clear coat? Or did they use a UV protective resin? If you do clear it, you can always do matte to get a similar finish...
This certainly does inspire some dreaming. Thanks brother!

That beauty definitely deserves some better pictures outside in the light!
