Cheers dude, great to finally meet you and the parallax #sickfadez props to @B0N0R
I know right, its actually a bit of a nice frame considering its going to be rolling through the worst of the British weather but you're right, it will be a high mileage bike because it's always raining.
It seems to be a reoccurring theme that the GXP BB is shoddy, any recommendations on a decent replacement? Or is it worth while just getting a different chainset? Saying thay I'll probably be replacing the GXP on the Duratec soon as well.
Current parts for the TK Pro is a Mavic Cosmic for the front, Black TB14 laced to Gran Compe track for the rear (all black), black Sram Apex front brake and some Time ATAC xc4's. That stuff I already have, it's all come off builds I've had in the past, I'll put up pics tomorrow.
I don't have bars/hoods or a saddle, I'm thinking compact drops, maybe 3T Ergonova's, some basic sram hoods/levers and an SLR saddle.

I love that this is your winter bike, what other bits you putting on it? Id consider switching the cranks for something with a more durable BB if its going be a high mileage bike, I get through GXP ones irritatingly often on the bike I ride most often/in the worst weather.
Duratec is sick btw, It was nice to meet you and check it out in the flesh the other week.
