And the positive off all that pissing about by customs was it allowed me time to source the bits I didn't have.
I had a stack of 10 speed bits so that was the obvious route. To me shiny is always better than black so predominantly silver build, but I had the carbon cranks so fancied them on this over a more traditional silver crank.
I did get some aero bars, but in London that is not very practical. My ideal solution is some 10 speed campag ergos on bullhorns, but I've yet to see a satisfactory cabling option without big loopy cables out front. I don't know anything about fishing or sailing but figure there's got to me a widgety thingamee thing that can stealthily and tidily route the cables and still have good shifting. But until I figure that I'm just going to blat about with bullhorns for a bit and see how that pans out.
