So, I placed the order yesterday for my new bike, an upgrade for my 2008 Trek Equinox 7 bought off @yetidamo and seeing as I haven't "built*" a bike for a good few years, thought I'd create a thread as it should be pretty decent when its finished - admittedly not very fixed or singlespeed so please accept my apologies!
Frame: Felt IA 1 Framekit - 51cm
Groupset: Shimano Ultegra Di2 (165mm 52x36 Chainset, 11-28 cassette, Ultegra satellite shifers and ultegra brake/shifters, Felt integrated brakes)
Saddle: ISM Adamo Racing
Tyres: Continental GP4000s 23mm
Tubes: Michelin Latex -more because I have them lying about...
Bar Tape: Fizik Microtex - thinking Yellow as my club kit is black and yellow, although I may just go all black to keep the stealth look
Wheels: TBC -Will probably borrow a Hed3 off a mate, and use an RS10 with a Raltech Wheel cover until I can save up for a set of FLOs
Hydration - xlab gorilla ziptied behind saddle + something between the arms
Pedals - Garmin Vector
I'm interested to see what it weighs but more interested to get it out for a race!
Delivery into the UK is expected on the 16th Feb, and my LBS has all the groupset bits either in stock or on order to arrive this week so as soon as they get it they can start building.
Now if someone would actually buy my Brompton I'd have the last bit of cash in place...
First race outing will be 7th March...
