It’s mega. You already know I’m rather envious.
If going super bike I’d advise to hunt out more bargains over using inferior (3T) parts.

inferior (3T) parts
Ha! I have a 3T arx 110 thats perfectly useable but theres just something about the aesthetic shape that I don't like. It's hard to explain or justify since all carbon stems look virtually identical to one another. Its got the older style white outline decals which I don't love.
But I was back in the Glasgow triuk store today and they have a zipp sl speed stem in the sale. I now regret not just buying it. But I'm trying to keep costs down and fund any new parts by selling old parts... (3t stem for sale btw folks)
@cozey just mono block the whole garden and get that frame ordered!
Likewise I've always loved the tarmac. I had an s-works sl3 until a few years ago but it was second hand and bit gubbed. Always regretted selling it and lusted after the sl6 so much. When I found that link I convinced my self by saying this is realistically the last opportunity I'll get at buying this sort of thing brand new.
That dove grey colour looks brilliant. Theres another strange granite paint job, hard to tell if it would look shit in reality though.You could even consider selling the garden...

Holy flip-flop!
Frameset arrived today. I like it.
Quite pleased with how the paint job looks in real life. Was originally wanting stealth black but decided on a bit of colour for a change. Lovely dark purple that flips to a bottle green in the light.
One niggle straight away was that I could hear something rolling about inside the drive side chainstay. There was something like epoxy left over from manufacturing blocking the hole that it could roll out of. Poked a wooden chopstick in, epoxy bit dislodged and then tiny bit of plastic fell out.
Have had similar experience on a chinese carbon frame years ago and then again on a carbon santa cruz frame.
Other than that its looking pretty good.
