I have been looking everywhere for one of those for my Klein- if you don't use it please allow me to purchase it from you?

Hi there. I don't own it but you can buy it here:

Ah, my eyes must have gone wrong, I thought that was white- thanks for the link.

Well frame arrived - I took a risk on it as the TT is 56.5 cc and I usually ride a 55 but with a 110 stem it has the same saddle to hoods measurement as my other bikes which have 120mm stems.
Head tube is nice and long at 18 and it's a 57cc seat tube 60 c- top.
1st vey quick mock up with what I had to hand - might put my record ti post on in white a white fizik Antares...

Beautiful!
Please, no white on this beauty. :P
Are you going to use the Mavic wheels?

I'll use them "for best" - other wheels are ceramic / record wheels as on my cyfac

absolutely gorgeous, you have the best taste in bikes

Cheers man!

Such fantastic frames, this is truly beautiful. I'm very jealous.

The desecration of the rock lobster brand is similar to what happened to Ghia, such a shame in my (irrelevant) option. Rant over.

Thanks got it at a good price luckily.
What happened to the brand? Paul Sadoff is still building frames I thought?

Frame is perfect! Going to be such a killer build

Messing around with different combos - apologies for the rubbish pic

I have an aluminium one with an ENVE fork and love it to bits. Best bike I've ever ridden. One day I'll have to get a steelie to match. Looks fantastic mate.

Awesome frame, fabulous colour and can only echo the earlier comment about your taste in bikes.

For what it's worth, I'd go with silver post and stem and traditionally spoked wheels.

That pic was taken about 10.30pm under a local street lamp!
I am thinking about putting the ti post on this and seeing what it looks like
Here's another one from the windswept garden this morning

Love the colour, would agree that stem and post need to be the same colour

Longer stem but still seems a good fit

Super lovely. Silver post and stem and silver spokes would make it a nice retro-like-bianchi-tribute

I love this build, congrats on a great frame
