Looking fully sick is the advantage.

It's just so pretty...

That's fucking gorgeous.

Picked this up on saturday. Frame is so, so nice.
Have been having a right mare finding anywhere with ENVE 2.0 1.5 inch taper forks in stock, and not on back order with Saddleback. Ended up getting a OEM set that are painted to match the Genesis 953 frames from Paul Milnes Cycles. So when these turn up, I can start painting.

Last piece of the puzzle is bottle cages. Havent ordered any yet, and cant decide whether i should go modern Elite cages, or more classic King cages.
I have Elite cages on all other bikes and they are great.

Suggestions?

King Ti.

Arundel Mandible Carbon.

King +1

They are so fucking ugly.
Please dont put them on your nice new bike.

Deffo King Ti

Unless you're putting a load of ridiculous carbon bits on it... in which case some modern cages might, might look good.

Everything on it will be carbon.
Except the tyres.

And the bar tape.

Weight Weenie style?

Ala this Roberts from Bespoked 2 years ago? :

Nope, I'm not particularly fussed about weight. It definitley won't be heavy though.

I've got a lot of time for the King cages - both stainless and Ti, they are simple things made really well.

Personally I prefer the way they look to the Elite cages, but that might just be me.

Smud or Tune?

You've seen the stem he put on his Roberts haven't you?

Wait until you've painted it and then decide. From the way you've described it I'd go modern.

how is it floating?

So fork turned up.... So painting can start as soon as I get some free time next week!

Have been trying to find somewhere that sells ENVE vinyl decals that I can use as a mask for painting... But can't seem to find any. eBay is throwing up zilch. Only wheel decals. Anybody know somewhere that sells/makes them? Looking for the same sort of size that's on there now.

Do you need a vinyl?

I can do a trace of this for you if you want?

I've got some, somewhere- I'll have a look tomorrow and let you know.

Thanks Neil!

Might be good to have a .eps as back up ready to go?

Didn't someone like @roboto do some decals based on the Enve logo? he might have something...

Are you stripping the forks back?
