Is that dishes? Any more photos? Cool idea
If you point your bike and stem directly to the South (in the Northern hemisphere), then your top cap becomes a sundial;

It's from Standert: https://standert.de/collections/stander ... -lucky-cat
It shlould look like a guitar amplifier knob and it is in reference to one of best movies ever This is Spinal Tap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xgx4k83zzc
Now that I'm rewatching that clip, you could make the same arguments for every cassette speed upgrade.
It's brilliant (if the weather is alright).
I've done it 3 times now (teams of 6, 4 then a duo), when they do it again I'll be doing it solo.

This was the only item in the build that could have been lighter - The Aethos top cap was around 1g lighter, but I went for the orange anodised tune cap to match with hubs, nipples and chainringbolts.

Now that looks like a wild build! Link to thread?
Cool top cap too, what was the aethos one like?

I haven't yet sat down and written up the build into a post yet - I really ought to make the effort and get that done.BenScott144 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 9:12 pmWouldLikeToBeLighter wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 8:43 pm

The Aethos top cap was black and concave, I probably have it somewhere, along with the other frameset spares whick were replaced (for lighter components), if I can find it I'll get a picture.

Do OE caps weigh much typically? I have a new Cervelo but no scale.
