Kept in great condition (lack of use...) with a range of Campagnolo components. Never crashed/no accidents. The frame is a 7000-series Aluminum / Carbon fibre mix with beefy BB area/downtube/chainstays, providing plenty of stiffness yet a comfortable ride.
There are a couple of issues with the bike. I stupidly forgot to align the brake pads with the rim properly when I got the wheelset. This has caused damage to the stickers on the drive-side of the front wheel and NDS of the rear (pictured). I looked into getting replacement decals, and you can for about $10 through Easton-Bell Sports, but never got round to it. The other issue is on the NDS rear dropout where I caused some paint to chip off from me being cack-handed with a QR lever...Some white touch-up paint should suffice.
The seatpost works like a quill stem in that upon turning the Angle Lock on the seatpost, a wedge at the bottom is forced against the inside of the of the seat tube. As there is no clamp at the top of the seat tube the seatpost sometimes made sounds upon hard seated riding. As per Smallfurry's post, I have coated the seatpost with PVC iPad screen protector as recommended by various forums, which works really well.
