Now cabled and finished apart from bar tape as I only have some red cammo lizard skin which I don't think really goes. The 105 'Flight Deck' shifters are a revelation - pretty much as good as the current versions. Really like the look of the compact bars with the pro chrome and it rides very nicely. I did have thoughts of updating to a more recent group but to be honest (with the addition of the later 175mm crankset so I can use a power meter if desired) I don't want to change a thing. I'd have kept the silver cable outers but for the fact they were all brake cable. Clearance on the fork is minimal even with the 25c fitted, but the forks are built like the Forth Bridge and I'm tempted to take 4mm out of the arch. Should have bought the stainless steel Donhou barrel adjusters instead of the brass ones.
Edit: sorry about the pedals / didn’t have any black fibrax!
