E54s Quiver (Cervélo T1 completed)

Many thanks for your appreciation yall

Yep I think I won‘t be selling this thing for a while. Can‘t vouch in case of unforeseeable events happening but generally really love it.

I think this frame is really a challenge to build up. Ive seen a few builds online with black parts but none of them attracted me. I think I found one build which was mostly pleasing but I think its very easy to fuck it up.

The colorway and also the geo (super short head tube, super fat dt, dr/front wheel clearance fairly wide) are the reasons for this imho.

Thats Why I really made up my mind to find a good balance in parts (25.4 bar instead of 31.8, low rims/high hubs etc). I think it worked out very well.

Re @Glws setback comment I am still unsure which is best but I will not decide thise before I find some money to buy a nitto post.

Double straps might be a slight upgrade some time in the future and real soyo grips. But as said initially I am about to keep it for a while so I am not in a rush to bring it from 92% to 100%

@Tijs thanks, too. I think with the black chain it looks even meaner than with the gold one. Plus aside from the saddle it was the inly part of the LOOK build which did not sell so I took that as a hint to build something around it.

For therapeutical reasons I went down the basement again today, starting to re-build my pump track bike:

• New narrow-wide ring (took two months from china

• New 8spd LX shifter/brake unit (took me almost a year to find a pair)

• New shimano random BB

• New Easton Cockpit

Still on the list:

• cables

• clean/mount rear brake calipers and RD

• maybe cut steerer🧐
