Forgot about this thread - anyone fancy a 3 year update?
Frame was fixed up by the brilliant Dave at Vernon Barker Cycles in Sheffield, who also switched out the old bottom bracket, allowing me to complete the groupset swap. I've kept the original DA/ Ambrosio wheelset on since, which work with one specific 11 speed Cassette.
The bike is lovely to ride, the only notable changes being a Shorter stem, Thomson seatpost (which messes up the fit with its setback but mmm Thomson) and the Gravelking slicks it's currently running - Marked as 26 but measure up under 25 on these rims, just clearing the frame.
Since moving back from Sheffield, its actually had more use, mainly because I picked up a sweet offroad rig (more on this later) and fell out of love with tarmac.
Had some nice adventures on this, including its first 'race' (Do Duathlons really count?) and a century+ ride to Southwold over the summer.
Currently on occasional Roadie duties and fast commutes on sunny days.
