Weight Weenie Hip Hop Aspirations

I've been working towards realising my HHSRB dreams and after a few false starts (had secured a frameset and the seller sold it to a climate on their Sunday ride the day before I was due to collect it) I've gotten an S-Works Allez!

It's going to be a while in delivery as it's coming from Little Rock, Arkansas via a postal redirection service in New Jersey (seller refused to ship internationally) and unfortunately I have plenty of other things I should be putting my money into at the moment so there's going to be no big rush on this build.

I am aiming for a moderately modest weenie build on this so at the moment I'm leaning towards Deda Elementi Superleggera stem, bars and seatpost as a start point.

No thoughts on groupset yet, probably DA9000 or Red 22 and likely with an S-Works FACT crankset for either option.

I'd love to go down the THM/ Tune/ Schmolke/ Berk route but unless I find some super deals on eBay it's not likely.

Might do Tune Mig/Mag hubs on Light Bicycle carbon rims though...

Plenty of time to think about it but for now here are some pictures from the eBay seller.

I've just spotted a really cheap Red 22 groupset for sale here in Ireland I'm trying to not buy :(

Extralite stem is hot but may need 130mm for fit. I'll have a lot at geo.

noice ! jealous.
i have a deda superleggera 120mm

s works fact cranks

Extradite

What crimes has it committed?

Just noticed and corrected that. Guilty of crimes against pro-fit/ hhsrb though to be fair.

€550 for spotless Red 22 groupset minus brake calipers?

yeah, sell calipers get 9100 (if you dont mind mismatch) or ee.

Considering shifters and rear derailleur comes to about £500, I would say that's a bargain groupset.

Yeah it makes a lot of sense... are Red 22 calipers useless?

No

9100 are very good. Running them with etap. Mismatch lyf

Ah cool, might go for matchy matchy in that case....

Seller happy to do rest of gruppo for €500 So I guess that's a done deal...

hot. subbed.

What’s the diff between sworks and standard allez out of interest?

This one you can grill sausages.

50% extra gram likes

It's basically an anodized DSW Allez frameset with an S-Works FACT full carbon fork (I think it's the same fork as an S-Works Tarmac?)

Frame is 1050g.

At least 50% extra. Additional HHSRB points also.

I would put a titanium Seat post in that. And the front zilver stem and black handlebar

Red 22 brakes are fine, just not as good as Shimano. Who cares anyways, it's a race bike not a tourer

Yum!

Sworks finishing kit is quite nice and quite light, maybe Aerofly bars for the aeros?

wouldn't true HH be sram red 10 speed ?

Got some new 9100 series brake calipers for sale if any interest. Also a 175mm compact crank.

Some Sworks 53/39 TT rings too
