@Vince has put his GT Edge Aero on hold for me until I get back to London next week, and I am starting to think about how to build it up in advance, and what bits I will need.
I am also picking up on Vince's idea of converting it to the obviously cooler GT aero track
... but I want to take it a step further by taking advantage of the large surface area of the bike to give it a rad paint job for maximum head-turning.
My plan is first to get it rolling quickly with the essentials - and keep the colour-changing teal->purple paint for a few months just for lulz.
for this I'll need
700c forks, preferably cheap carbon, with a threadless 1" steerer
track ends (from @ShuttaSeven)... I hope my metalworking tools/skills are up for fitting them
headset and BB
-everything else ;)
Then after a few months, once I've had inspiration for a rad colour scheme, phase two will be to add as much superfluous aero surface area as possible (webbing, aero cut-out seat tube, etc) to create a large canvas for some very bright paint... We'll see where it goes from there!
