Just put the final touches on a new bike for my better half. It's a replacement for her Condor Fratello, which isn't quite cutting it any more.
Spec is:
Columbus Zona tubing, 44mm oversized headtube, clearances for 35mm CX tyres. Fillet brazed by me.
Whisky No 7 fork
Ultegra groupset
TRP Spyre brakes
PDW mudguards
3T and Fizik finishing kit
Hope hubs H Plus Son rims built by August Wheelworks
I built it with fully enclosed external cable runs. The down-tube clamping is a system that screws into bottle bosses that I brazed on. Works really well, and in the event that I switch things to hydraulic at some future date there's going to be no hassles.
Here are some pics of the build in progress and the finished article.
I've got some more photos of the build, and if anyone has any questions about the design and build process I'll do my best to answer them.
Cheers!
