Beautiful colour. The white text on red really pops!

Great looking bike, must be stiff as hell. My only complaints, why RB1K headtube can't be just a little bit taller...

@vlastrada
Any particular reason for unloading your RB1K?
How I wish it was a XS ...then I'll be all over it :(

Thanks guys, don't have decent pics unfortunately, here's what i found.
the RB1K is by far the best riding frame I ever had, much prefer it to the RB800, which I also liked.

@ Maverik - hardest bike to sell, simply a question of having done a serious bike fit and a size S is just too small and sub-optimal (177cm long legs and arms). On he plus side, XS ans S are almost the same :) My first RB1k was XS:

For completeness, here's my RB800, which I then upgraded for the new black RB1k shown above:

Super nice RB1K Vlastrada! And what is the weight? :D

Here is my RB800 ready for a new racing season. Got some new enve 3.4 with CK hubs to replace my old bora one 35s , wider IS better.

awesome rb800 -- really love it they way you have set-it up ...are those enves clinchers?

i don't know the weight of the whole bike...my wild guess maybe around ~6kg w those wheels? (light @935g, thm brakes, tlo bars, light stem pedals help) But TBH I could be way off... I don't really know...

@kgt: yup my first choice would have been a nk1k or another RB1k (in medium), definitely w rim brakes :)

But in reality, not sure what my next bike will be, as i need to go via my LBS for a variety of reasons (mainly they have been awesome), which means no Cipo for now:( Maybe a Pina F10? It doesn't excite me massively TBH, but it's a good race bike...
...we'll see....I'll probably come back to a Cipo sooner or later
