How much does the bike weight now fully build?
-
• #108
Not sure, haven't measured it. It's pretty decent for a 17 year old steel framed bike but it's no weenie obviously.
I don't have anything suitable to weigh it other than standard bathroom scales.

Did you manage to find a band on? All the deals I've been looking at for groupset are braze on only.

Use an adapter?

^yep, adapter. I went for a no name carbon one that seems to be holding up fine including my forays into racing over the summer.

I ran out of patience waiting for a Serotta fork so bought a Reynolds Ouzo Pro which as far as I can make out is very similar to the Serotta forks. I think at the time Serotta said that their F2 fork had a different carbon layup to the Ouzo Pro and the Serotta O2 fork was a rebranded Ouzo Pro.

I thought I was going to be okay on steerer length but looking into it I may have miscalculated.
I don't have the exact measurement for my headtube but my best google efforts tells me its 144mm and the steerer on the forks above is 178 mm. 34 mm difference is not going to be nearly enough.

Looks like this frame might become available in the coming weeks. I've loved it and suspect I might regret selling it but I've been offered a brand new Canyon CF SLX for a song. Given that most of my riding at the moment is either racing or training for racing it is too good an offer to turn down.

Without scrolling back through the thread, is it a 56?
I'll look out for you on Sunday!
