Wet weather SSCX commuter

The biggest size this comes in is a 57cm right? Not sure that'll big enough for my 6'3 lankiness...

No idea I'm afraid (never needed to look!)

The one I have is the FR-602...

Was there any reason you went for the FR-602 over the AC024 (on one dirty disco chinese frame)?

Yeah, mine is matt and has internal cabling routing.

Oh cool I hadn't realised that, I'd prefer those too

Yeah.... The 602 is really nicely put together.

It is done:

A couple more photos:

Yes; the hoods are very long (about 10mm longer than Ultegra Di2).

How much did that set you back in total?

Looks great by the way!

Maybe £1,100?... At most. Probably around £1k

sounds like a decent price, i see what you mean about the finish on the frame, looks class

First ride in this morning.

Frame is very solid, w/ nice power transfer. As it's a CX frame, its angles are a lot slacker than my BMC but it doesn't feel much less responsive because of it. It definitely soaks up the bumps of South East London a lot better...

The brakes are a little spongy at the moment but i'm hoping the pads just need a bit of wearing in. The hoods are very long but I picked up a slightly shorty stem to accommodate for this and haven't really noticed the difference.

All in all, pretty happy with it.

Love it. Nice work.

Been excited to see this right from the off.

Does not disappoint. Really great looking bike. Just needs some mud!

Let us know how you get on with them, as I'm keen on getting the TRP on my CX as well over the HY/RD.

I can't quite tell, does it have mudguard eyelets?

Yup. Not tried to fit any yet but it looks like there's plenty of clearance past the caliper.

First ride in this morning.

It was dry though.

How are those tyres? I wonder what they will be like in the wet...

Well spotted... I can't control what the weather is like once the bike is finally finished.

Ride report will be updated on the first wet weather ride.

They were fine on my CAADX for a winter. A decent enough level of puncture protection vs. water clearance.

I might get some CX knobbly efforts at some point though.

They are touring tyres Dan, they'll be fine.

good to know. Looks like my rourke has clearance for 28's and mudguards so may well switch to some for winter.
