• @Zerostar - thanks for the comments, hopefully I'll do it justice! Thinking about this, I missed out on an awesome Red/Yellow Titanium fade Serotta last September when I was travelling New Zealand - it was a bit small at 56cm, but planted the seed.

    So I guess i've had one eye looking for around a year for one! However a few weeks after I bought mine, this popped up on US Bay, slightly smaller at 57cm, but could have worked:

    So I guess its completely down to luck!

    This build has seriously flagged in recent weeks due to moving flats, Christmas and generally just being a met "meh" about everything in life. New Year is around the corner so time to get this finished and out on the roads.

    I think I've got everything now to complete this, just bought:

    Luckily held out for this, complete Sram Force 22 for £475 delivered, which is a total bargain as its around £580 normally, if stocked.

    Went for 172.5mm 50/39 and 11-25 as I'm an unfit fat bastard, Golgol had 10 speed red on his atlana which looked pretty shit hot so that swayed me over the Ultegra plus the hood comments I've read let alone double tap!

    Its my birthday at the end of the month, so some slightly impulse/alcohol fuelled ebay'in has landed me this:

    Which is a 1inch Serotta Ti 100mm stem 26.0 so will work perfectly with my Soma HWY One's from the Samson. Pricey as but oh well.

    This will then sit next to this fella:

    Luckily a 2NUT came up on Ebay in the U.K. for cheap's - this will replace the Campag Record currently in there.

    Saddle wise I've gone for the Flite re-issue - like this (expect not team issue);

    And seat-post I'm reusing an EC70 carbon with 10mm setback from my old damaged Atlanta. I'll probably swap this out for a Van Nic later but want to get this dialled in beforehand.

    The only decision left is bar tape which will probably be Zipp CX in black - which I'm running currently.

    Comments as always welcomed! :)
