Here’s my Capo. It’s a 63cm frame like my CAAD10 and the geometry is pretty similar.
As bought it had an alloy seatpost and cheap saddle, and some 44cm anatomic bend bars (blergh) and a 110mm stem. No brakes, and 50x14 gear on some Soma cranks with an FSA chainring. The wheels are actually not bad - Velocity Escape tubular rims, Sapim race spokes, and 32h Miche Primato hi-flange hubs. They’ve got a pair of basically unused 21mm Vittoria Pista tubs glued to them which I’ve added some sealant too.
Currently it’s been hastily set up for road riding with what I had lying around - another Fabric Tri saddle, Hylix Carbon seatpost, 130mm Kalloy Uno stem, FSA Pro Wing 42cm bars and a ratty Ultegra 6800 front brake with an interrupter lever, and Look Keo 2 Max pedals. I also changed the chainring to a 48t Miche and put a 16t Miche cog on the back making 78ish gear inches, which is okay for my local hills though maybe a 17t cog would be nice, as an 18t felt too short.
Commuting on tubs long term is too much excitement for me so I’ll have to have a think about that.
I’d like to change the cranks and BB also.
