Hey guys
I'm going to be building a relatively inexpensive racing bike for 2015(mainly because if i'm involved in a crash in my first season, I don't want to be sat crying after snapping a carbon frame etc etc)
So my idea is to slightly upgrade my current road bike with a few bits here and there to help me train over the winter but also compete in the new year.
This is how the bike has looked for the past year:
And the frame stripped of parts:
So currently my plan is to make something on a not so extensive budget but suitable enough for racing and i'll be using parts that I have kicking around or cheap ebay finds. 1 inch carbon fork on there, old ultegra groupset on its way with a dura ace chainset, -17 degree stem etc...
The bike is sat in my office looking like this:
(these aren't the wheels i'll have on there)
