I've done that on the aero bike but went enve/beast on fork and cotpit as I wanted the flip chip in the fork and didn't think Ti cotpit would match carbon fork. Can't wait to see yours

I’ve got a 3T exploro that I ride both 700c and 650b and never really noticed that much dramatic difference… plus the potential to go fully ti.. was just too much of a draw…

Can’t wait to see what the aero bike comes out looking like…

Mailed Tom a couple of weeks ago with a few questions, great detailed responses, will definitely be pulling the trigger soonish - just waiting on a few investments to get themselves in order before I pop the deposit down, no rush really as groupsets will likely take forever anyway. Thinking aero model, full Ti package with chainset / bars etc, new Dura Ace. Not decided on wheels but I'm half tempted by something crazy like the new 5 spoke Black Incs.

The beast 60 rims on DT180 hubs are a great choice for the aero bike. Bearing in mind how long the build will take I'd wait to see what sram release and an update to red AXS in H1 next year

Yeah true, SRAM and Campag will likely be refreshing at some point soon, will see what tickles my pickles nearer the time. Not a fan of the SRAM aesthetic but a Campy build would be nice...

I've noticed the Beast wheels on his builds, will look into them.

You probably will have yours before mine even clears customs. It has been sitting in customs for a month now ..... they are so overloaded with Brexit...just painful.

Bastion is just finishing final stages of paint....and then shipped over to me. But I feel that might even arrive before the Sturdy.

And will finally get to the ride Enve Bike end of this month when I m in LA for 10days, and will bring it back home. Interestingly I send a whole AXS groupset from Germany to LA for the Enve, and it took 4 days door to door. So quick. Impossible to source a new groupset in the US currently.......so it was easier to take one of my current bikes and ship the components.
