• Put about 150 miles onto the Volare now, it's proper good!

    Few little teething pains still to solve though:

    • Had to swap bottle cages from the Ritchey as my cheapo, old, carbon ones didn't hold bottles very well. The stainless bottle cages work well here, so will need to find something to replace them on the other bike.
    • BB is a bit creaky, reckon I've undertorqued the cranks.
    • Found a crack in the front derailleur (adjustment screw overtightened at some point), will have to try & find a new one or nick the one from the Ritchey & go 1x there.
    • Need some frame protection so I can run a frame bag on it at some point.
    • Install Hope brakes, the current Shimano ones are okay, but not as confidence inspiring as I'm used to with discs.

  • Glad to hear you like it!
    From an aesthetics point of you, hitting the DT bottle cage with some black paint to continue the fade on the DT would be proper anal.
    All in all, it looks like a really nice bike.
