  • Speaking of which, is this a good price for the spec? 105 5800

    Seems like a pretty good price. I got the standard (non Evans special) version with 105 brakes and Gossamer chainset for £1125. I prefer the paint scheme tbh.

    No creaking from the BB in the 200 km or so I have ridden it so far and the frame is very nice.

    Mine is currently with Condor waiting for a Rotor pushfit BB to arrive so I can have a 105 compact chainset fitted. I didn't get on with the semi-compact gearing and the FSA chainsets don't seem to have a very good reputation. They are going to put some kind of bonding agent on the new BB and clamp it for 24 hours which, I am told, will prevent creaking.

    Green loctite probably.

    Something like that. I trust that they know what they are doing, did a superb job building my Scott CR1.
