Got the frame quite recently.
It was cheap!
But hey. I'm going to see how light I can get this machine for under £1k.
Main goal is to beat everyone at Catford CC hill climb, and fly up every fuckin' hill.
Here's the frame though.
So far, I've got Deda zero100 finishing kit, chinese crabon seatpost for silly cheap quite a while ago. Got a Chris King PF24 BB just because i'm quite weary of regular replacing which would ultimately wear out the BB shell inside...
I've decided to go 11 speed mix of shimano 105/ ultegra. SRAM Red brakes though, shaves off a good 20g or so :)
Wheelbuild will be custom - thinking bikehubstore/ kinlin XR200s or XR19W, sapim lasers? Anyone used these rims? Any other suggestions for a sub 400g clincher rim? Target weight of wheels around 1200g. I can - I'm a teeny 56kg.
Need chainset opshunz. Best bang for buck/ cost-weight with PF24 for 11 speed? Can one even run 10 speed rings with 11 speed chain? Heard mixed things.
