amazing build, it looks sooo much better than I had in mind! And I like the fact you kept it all white, it makes the paintwork stands out nicely. What size frame is this? And what size tyres are they?
Aldersbrook-
Haha, i guess you mean black? It's a size 53, with 28mm pro ones. I'd say with the 53 you probably won't get much more than a 28 in there with guards, definitely 32, maybe 35 without guards.
Harriet has gone with steel bottle cages to keep this simple, elites didn't really seem right on this frame! She also tried the Fizik Luce saddle, but it was a much lighter grey than expected and didn't look right at all.
Current build is:
Hope 20Five straight pull CL wheels
28mm Pro Ones Tubeless
Tiagra 4700
Spyre calipers
Deda RHM01 38cm w/ Fizik tape
Fizik R5 stem 80mm
BBB seatpost (surprisingly difficult to find a plain black inline seatpost)
Fabric Scoop Ti saddle
King cage steel cages
chiroshi
Almost done! Quick test ride down the road to check saddle / bar height. Still waiting on a rear caliper, and deciding on bottle cages. Harriet is super excited to get out on it now, but unfortunately leaving for a week tomorrow.
FYI, clearances are pretty tight on the fork and frame for 160 rotors, already scraped a bit of the lacquer off.
So much fun to build, and gonna be even funner to get out and ride! Sitting at 9.8kg at the moment missing rear caliper and bottle cages but uncut steerer and seatpost. Not bad considering the carbon Avail it replaces was 9.3kg.
