Up to this point, I’ve owned the frame for over 18 months .. during which time I’ve partially built it up about 3 times before changing my mind - then offering it up for sale at a price I knew was much more than it was worth .. I think just to check the universe wanted me to keep it! 🤔
The 5800 groupset, Fulcrum
Wheels and minimal fork I had initially planned would have turned it into a classic MOGOF - but I was rather underwhelmed with the aesthetics.
Instead, I built up some old velocity aerohead rims on Bitex hubs -using silver spokes. Wheels weigh about 1500g. Also, I sourced another lightweight steel fork with a longer steerer (then chopped off the threads to make it ahead).
Much more pleased with the look now
