Some minor updates to the stable. First up the Caad8 - with the 3T accelero wheels and Vittoria Open Pave tyres and a new saddle. Pretty sure it's complete now. Rides well enough for now. I'm ignoring the slightly noodly front end until I can afford new forks or, in fact an entire new frame.
Next is a bit of a bastardisation. I feel kind of guilty for this, but it is a lot of fun. And since no one would buy it, I figured I'd ride it!
1 x 8 gearing (42 up front) and risers. This came about as I needed new forks. the ones that came with the frame had a too short steerer so the stem kept wriggling loose. I had these steel ones lying around so on they went, and then risers... and flat pedals!
It's not going to stay like this, while it's fun, the frame deserves more so I'll see if I can find some straight blade carbon forks (profile maybe) and I'll set it up with either drops and clip on tri bars or back to the airwings. I also have a set of SRAM apex cranks with a BB that will work on this.
