So the Brief for this bike is:
Solid, stable "Super Grands-Fondo machine". As I'm a Clydesdale, I made some concessions to weight, for cost and practicality (though only in so much as a second bottle would add). Hence Ultegra R8000, Fulcrum Quattro Carbons and alloy finishing kit.
The bike still is bang-on 7kg, so even a half-arsed weight-weenie version would be early 6's. if not pushing 5's with carbon tubs and carbon cockpit.
I have MANY physical injuries, from active military service, so please spare me the headset spacers, soft bar tape and some easy gears
