That's next year's light bike. First I have to convert my Storck Fasc 0.6 to everyday use, then some of the light parts from that bike go on this SCR.
Including the Tune housing and Elilee crank. The 645g wheelset I just built was for a customer, and it's difficult to source the lightest rims for more sub-650g builds.

This is the original Extralite web page:
https://www.extralite.com/Products/SCR-058.htm

but it does not discuss the current model "C" which is even lighter and has more features, like internal top tube routing.

Got this to replace my lower pulley wheel, but now I feel like I should get one to replace the top one too otherwise it'll look unbalanced Image but for the price of 2 I could just replace the whole lower cage.

I'm from Germany. I guess they ship international.
They ship from the UK and I had to pay customs. I just got a mail from DHL and paid direct via Paypal before delivery. Very easy and fast.

I bought a used set SRAM Etap 11 speed for my 1999 Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro and I'm sitting here with dirty and damaged hands just taking a teabreak, while the paint dries.

I had to file/grind the hub AND the cassette AND the bracket for the front derailleur, which also got some bashes with a hammer.

The bike is handmade and it looks like they just adapted it to the gearsystem they planned to use and not to any standard. I even had the derailleur touch a QR for folding but the hammer took care of that. :D

No crazy BF impulse purchases to report? :)

I finally ordered a T25 t-handle. Funny how you can have a million tools and then realize one day that something is missing. I blame SRAM.
