That didn't work because I needed to decide on stuff so I could build it up, so I just bought it anyway as you can just send stuff back these days.
No. This is wrong!
I haven't actually built anything yet, but I have got nearly all the bits.

For some reason the tape includes one pink and one green bar end plug (pictured), this is a complete mystery but I will have to use something else.

Actually Cazakstan put me on to a man in Taiwan. It is, at worst, an extremely good, solid feeling fake. The only differences I can find from my (definitely real, red) Doric Team on the other Pearson are that 'Italian style and design' is written in the wrong place and the height marks on the seatpost start at a different height.

Some Cervelo's come/came with white team posts, and blue was 'custom for a pro team'. What seems odd is if you were going to fake a Doric Team post, why not just make it red?
