Initial build:
I wanted to get something together as soon as possible to see how it rides. Just came back from an hour long session around a closed circuit nearby and I gotta say it feels great. Very precise and light, quick to accelerate.
Basically everything north of the toptube is temporary(ish). First order of business is to get a proper bike fit to determine the actual length of the stem I need et cetera. Then I'll be looking out for some second hand Nitto seatpost and stem/cockpit.
SPDs will be replaced with Shimano 105 SPD-SL pedals. I also sent my Flite saddle to be reupholstered, white. The idea was to have white contactpoints, but I kinda like the black so I'm not sure.
Any suggestions are welcome of course.
