Awesome build. Love how it looks w/ the second wheelset.

Thanks for the link - your bike looks stunning. Good work fella😍

Love that bar tape! Seriously lush!

Can't help but think you need a bit more Seat Tube?!

Yeah, but they only come square(ish) and I wanted a 56(.5)cm TT.
Think the seatpost needs to come down a few mm - the rails are at the right height for a specialized toupe, but that saddle is obvs a bit fatter. It's somewhere between 5–10mm away from min insertion at the moment so not technically unreasonable.

This is now my wallpaper!

Utterly glorious! Both incarnations are lovely. Hats off

Rattle can in black and be done with it? Or wrap it in ducktape

Immense.

wow!
amazing!
imagine that on sunny day!
I think seatpost height is fine, it's a big enough frame and proportion is harmonious. But if it bothers you, 180mm cranks!

+1 for bar tape!
how does it finish by the stem? looks too neat to not be Photoshopped! I want to see what's happening there.

Black rims with gumwall tyres

/\ that could be very nice too indeed...

Half-width electrical tape over carefully cut bar tape.

Looks great with the second wheelset. For pristine photo purposes I would drop the seatpost 25mm.

Needs the gumwalls on the first set of wheels.

^Yep, definitely prefer the first wheels but the second tyres.

I've just been offered a 57cm square CSi frame/fork/CK headset.

Another one?! Good price? Good paint?

I think this frame is too shouty for black rims/gumwalls combo, and I'm tired of switching tyres and rims about so have no plans to find out :)

I'd need to get a groupset and finishing kit, I've got wheels for it.

Question is, is it worth having the bike in Colorado, given that I'll likely spend a (cumulative) month per year over there?

Yes, definitely.

But I think you should just get a Specialized Allez with Tigra.

Bike looks amazing.

FWIW my vote is for the first wheelset, black tyres.

Why not. Do a period shimano build and bring the bits back with you when your time there is done, lots of good stuff comes up on the murica
eBay that could do with importing...

Lovely bike! Best "crazy" paint ever. Prefer the first pictured wheel set.

N Dammit, you could have an ottrott in stockholm as well, just saying..
