Looks in super condition. What are your plans for it?

Cheers, there are a few chips in the paint, but they're only tiny. Mostly Ultegra 6500 drivetrain, silver Mavic CXP rims.
Need to decide the important stuff like colour of cable outers and bar tape!

Mounted a few bits on it earlier today...

Then noticed the seatpost from my donor bike is 27.0 when I need 27.2. Facepalm.
I still cleaned the Massi logos off it, I'd already bought the acetone after all...

Edit: seeing as I have to replace the seatpost anyway, what are people's thoughts on going carbon? I'm probably going with black bar tape, will a carbon post look shit on a build like this? Saddle is black.

It turns out the rear rim was fucked, brake track worn to buggery. Got it replaced with an Open Pro, but it turns out new rim + old frame = not even enough clearance for a 23c

Thankfully the nice bike shop guy threw in a used 20c conti 4000. Mismatched wheels is a little annoying, but this project is done for now, all my money is needed elsewhere.

I love the paint job on this frame, there are fades coming out of the fades! My crappy phone pics don't do it justice, the pink and purple really shine. I'll have to try to get better pics in sunlight.

Nice one!! CBTs are great frames.

Well that's very nice. I like the paint

Here's a shot of it in action, me "sprinting" the last few metres of the Ditchling beacon at Puncheur yesterday.
