Managed to get hold of a 953 Madison Genesis race bike, badged up as belonging to James McLaughlin. It's in super decent knick and should be good fit. It's going to be a slow build, because my newly-mudguarded Cannondale is perfect for winter duty. Should be built by summer for racing and smashing about.
It's designed for electronic groupsets, so in an ideal world, it would get eTap, DA9K brakes and a power crank (probably a Quark), but having checked my bank balance, I think Ultegra 6870 is more likely. Wheels should be 60mm deep, wide as hell and come from China. Still interested in getting a power meter somehow, maybe a Stages or similar so I can use it on the turbo too.
Finishing kit (at a guess) would be a Thomson Masterpiece, a carbon Romin, Deda Zero100s/Zipp somethings and a Zipp -17 110 stem.

So - how do I hide all the Di2 cables? New DA9170 bar end junction box?
Also - what stupid fucking colour should I paint it? If its half as good as 953 is supposed to be, I might even get a professional to do it...
