Not really a current project if it's finished?
Anyway, one of my favourite frames of all time. I think they look better with a carbon coloured fork, and destickered wheels

Not really finished when I want to upgrade the forks, stem and seatpost- ongoing project maybe? haha
Yes agreed about the stickers on the wheels looks too busy with them on
And yes enve forks where are you

Some inspiration for you

Cheers seen some of them mmm black carbon fork needed, rim stickers soon to be gone

Better version (imo) of the 2nd one above. Love these frames. Yours has to be at least a 58/60?

Yep she is 60

These are great frames.

I think the Easton EC90 SLX has a similar A-C and will keep the geo the same if you want to swap the fork out. As does the Look HSC5. The 45mm offset isn't that common but worth looking for if you want to keep the handling as intended. Enve make a 2.0 in 45mm with an A-C of 367 which is pretty close to the Ultra (362). Wallet crushing tho.

If you can find one, a Slice Premium, Premium + or Slice SI is the way to go. Good luck finding one with the steerer length you need though.

These frames were designed for a layback 'post so it's a good excuse to get rid of that Thomson boat anchor :)

I have an Si spider with 53/39 rings in (drum-roll) Cipo gold ano. I think it would look excellent on one of these frames.

I bloody love this frame, there were a couple of caad 5's on ebay fairly recently, this colour scheme and my size. The prices were perfectly reasonable too but I just couldn't justify it. Will regret..

Anyway, nice bike. I'd like to see those rims de-stickered. I think the example posted above is pretty much perfect.

Did somebody say gold...?

Hope this serves as 'inspo'

Swapped everything over to a bianchi San Lorenzo frame I just got and destickered the wheels- shame still got the caad but too tube is just pushing it with the length
