Previously this bike had a aheadset and a generic carbon fork so forgettable it wouldn't be invited to dinner if it was the last fork on earth.
As I had the original fork and think a quill looks loads better anyway I've fitted those. Columbus SL, Gilco main tubes, fast back seat stays, the seat stays are like Popeye's forearms and bulge noticeably in the middle before narrowing at each end, and cool middle finger lugs, or spearpoint lugs as they are more commonly known :).
10 speed Campag, semi compact 52/36, Zonda's that were hand me downs from my Look, new 3t bars and stem, 28c tyres, fat 3mm bar tape and bike is a super comfortable mile muncher.
And I couldn't resist borrowing the Zipp's from my Look to see what it looks like with some deeper rims, pretty tasty as it happens.
