Unintended N+1 - lightweight build Scott Addict SL

Turned out very pretty!

No question it‘d be a gold chain!

Not sure if I missed that but whats the most effective/least damaging/least tedious way of stripping paint off of carbon?

Send it to someone else to do it.

Probably one of the nicest framesets I've ever had tbh. I got my Team Issue new for £900 years ago after my Foil died in a race incident.

Unfortunately, the Addict pictured also died in a front-on collision with an idiot on an MTB in the middle of the road on his mobile as I was coming around a corner cpl years ago.

I ended up finding it already stripped, this was an easy option too 🤣

Are you planning to use those silver TAs? They are gorgeous

Not tried them on yet... !

Found out the 11 speed fitted straight on so went down that route.... and now have a set of TA in 110BCD in stock 🤦‍♂️

A few small tweaks and it will be fit to ride...

Need to tweak the headset spacers/change the saddle/remove the Fizik seatpost seal/bar tape.

Given it a little rip (100% big ring 😬) and it feels tight. Not used SRAM before but feels very intuitive!

Will do an image when it’s complete 👌🏻

Sort out that front skewer!

But otherwise very rad!

Don’t worry, details will be cleaned up 😎

Black bar tape for this, surely?!

Finally ridden it! Images attached, will put more text in when I’ve got some more miles in

looks fantastic

A year on and running some deeper wheels, still a respectable weight!!!

Looks meaner with deeper wheels : )
Out of interest, why the switch from GP5000's to Corsa's?

Looks mean!

No luck sorting that skewer then

Still got theGP5000’s on the shallow wheels which are currently on a trek frame.. the Corsas seem to have a nicer softer compound but no way near as hard wearing.. have some schwalbe one tan walls in the box of stock to try next!!

That seems to be the position I always use 🤣 don’t even think about it when throwing them on!!!
