Enjoying this thing a lot. Very nearly finished.

One more ZX1. Was initially built with tt bars but never ridden until rebuilt month ago to current look. Put the same Mark 1's while Vitus got better matching Corimas with rear 4spoke.

Ooh nice

Was coming to post this. It's nice.

Very nice. Is that a -10 deg stem?

Just finished building this up

Clean. T-rex?

Yup. TooTinyTim arms.

What's the time limits for inclusion in this thread? My groupset is 2008 era and frame is 2003/4 I think. I feel that's under/over.

It probably is, but who cares.

Show us the goods!

Very nice!

Ah just a nicer shot of my Roberts which I finally got just right. I have been in the smallest three cogs for a total of about 5 mins after 400 miles of riding. I believe @Lolo hates this groupset but I think the cranks are dreamy.

Looking good. Ritchey stem? How do you like that saddle?

New (longer) stem for the Kelme. A 3T Chromix. Not completely happy with the result (on the photo from the seller it looked less beeffy) but it was cheap and will help me find out whether 130 mm is long enough or not.

Yeah ritchey stem. Saddle is OK I think. Never done the 'go through 15 saddles to find the one that gets me to the ball' due to patience and money but it seems to work so put it on all my bikes

Ha! I don't hate that groupset, it's just that visually it was a major disappointment after the 7800 and it looks very dated next to 9000. The cranks bear the responsibility for that IMHO. You could argue it's the least collectable DA group ever.

Cracking job on the bike though, it looks great!

This is a banger. Change the tires tough.

Thanks, @Señor_Bear
Yeah, I know I should take the Pro 4 off. But still in doubt about what tires I should put on it.

Something full black.

Will try, have a set of Conti Grand Prix somewhere.

Elegant frame. What sort of size tyres will it take with mudguards?

25s safely I think. @pastry_bot managed 28s with PDW guards but moaned about rubbage quite a lot I recall
