very nice.
I've just started saving the canti by buying a focus mares, planning to build it in similar fashion ! also on the lookout for a cx brakeset
surely 9000 derailleurs would be a nice and not too spendy tweak to the six13
Glws-
What you thinking on brakes? I've gone TRP CX9's. I used to have cheap tektro mini v's and they were plenty strong enough. Can't be bothered with canti's.
Hmm, the six13 had full ultegra and I wanted a bigger chainring and ended up getting these on ebay. Not sure I'm bothered enough to change the derailleurs.
I've still got the ultegra cranks tho - I could in theory go full ultegra on the CAADX. But i'd need new levers, and the current tiagra setup has it's benefits.

My six13 has been tweaked and done a lot of miles since I last posted it (new cranks and longer stem).
I’ve got an old CAADX that was in a sorry state so I’m now trying convert it into a winter road bike so I can throw some bigger tyres on it and mudguards, and use for off-road if I switch the tyres out.
Aiming to just get it built up first then will tweak as I go. I was running it flat bar, so now I’ve gone drops I’ve switched to mini-v’s and stuck some TRPs on.
Vittoria corsas won’t be staying on here, I’ve just grabbed the wheels off another bike. I want to polish the crank arms silver and maybe throw on a bigger chain ring, currently 46/36…
Trying to decide between silver stem and seatpost or black. Not sure I’ll stick with these funky hover bars either. But maybe.
