In this setup it weighs 8.6kg. But that includes Garmin 530, Garmin Vario Rearlight, and a saddlebag filled. Plus am running 32mm Conti Four seasons. So not the lightest Setup.....but for crappy weather purposes ideal.

Nice.
How wide of a tire can you get in there with those fenders?
You're going to have to update your long list of bikes!

They are 32mm and that is pretty much maxed out with those fenders. There is very very limited space at the back tire and BB. For road surfaces it be fine.kode54 wrote:Nice.

I would update my list.....but there is no more space In my signature. And I have an ISEN All-Season arriving next week, a Factor Ostro beginning of next year.....and a Speedvagen TI, Bastion and a Pegoretti Round on delivery list for next year.
My Venge will be sold ... so at least something is leaving the stable.

They are custom made size wise from https://flexi-carbon.de
Probably the lightest ones on the market and priced at just shy of 200Euros

Caledonia 5 done.
Etap Red AXS.
EASTON EC90
Not sure exact weight but using the bathroom scale method about 17lbs.
Solid stiff bike.
I like it better than 2020 Systemsix and Supersix stints that I had problems with and didn't like.
My one complaint is that the seatpost doesn't allow much adjustment. I have the zero setback which uses the same clamps on an Aspero although it's round, and there is not much room for adjustment. Cervelo really needs to redesign this. But that's fairly minor. Best new bike purchase for me in a while. AXS front derailleur working okay for now. Built myself. Pretty easy build. Have to glue the steerer plug. Another little downfall. Am happy overall. Underrated frame.

Yours is likely built more for the intended audience as a fowl weather big tire bike. I've got 25mm on mine right now and set up more as road mode. I don't even find the geo on this to be too tall in a 54. It's not a slow big tractor. It's a smidge tall but not by much. From a glance from far it looks like any other tarmac/emonda genre all rounder bike. Just more clearance and a bit diff geo. But how many of us are really racing grand tours. I'd equate it to a fast and sporty SUV. Which on the daily is most practical. Domaine and roubaix have many more gimics.alexneumuller wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 7:13 pmThat looks fantastic.

Looks great! What size is this and how tall are you? Interested in building up a Caledonia 5 for an all road bike with some 32s on it but can't decide on a size...woodyvalentine wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 7:11 pmCaledonia 5 done.

I'm 5'8"
Saddle height is 72cm BB Cc-TOP.
Stem 110
Bars 40cm
Saddle is slammed as far forward on the 20mm offset seatpost. Not much adjustment.
Stem is slammed on the short stack headset cover.
I'd say 5'8" is the shortest someone should be on a 54. Any smaller and you'd have not much drop or seatpost left.
I was in between sizes with the 51 but I generally go with 54s. This worked out fine. The zero offset seatpost would likely put me a bit too forward. Even less adjustment on that. Maybe a couple MM lower on the front would have been better but geo is a pretty good fit. 51 would've had a few spacers and longer stem.
