Cielo

Green bikes are always amazing. Great looking build this. Subbed.

Yes I’m a fan of green bikes

Yes I did look at this stem & also the Deda
I chose the Nitto stem to match the bars & post I really like the 106 bars
The Ritchie post comes in 350mm so I’d have needed to cut 100mm off
I would ultimately like a stem made & brazed , could colour match to bike

Lovely, I had the exact same setup on my Neo Primato but power torque version. Ultrashift ftw.

Get a Deda Superleggero painted and you're done imo!

What size is the clamp on the stem? 31.8 or 26.0?

Looks like 31.8 to me.

31.8

All ready to ride tomorrow

I have Deda stems on my other bikes
So could be an option when I get guards painted

Which nitto is it?, like it very much. Bike is stunning.

Eventually will have silver king hubs , silver spokes & black rims , not decided on rim choice yet
Time for a beer now

If your Nitto stem is 100mm, and you decide it's not for you, give me a shout, I'd be very interested in purchasing.

Hi will do , it is 100mm

How was initial ride?, hope it rides as well as it looks.

Fantastic ride today ..... love it

Excellent. Never seen that app, that's quite cool. Have some friends down Blanford way, nice part of the country.

Yes is lovely part of the world , the app is great I just use the free version

Really enjoyed riding the Cielo today , you feel the weight on the climbs , but descending & rolling road is great fun , handles really well . All in all really pleased
Might still change the stem to a Ritchie yet ..

That’s beautiful that is. The details and workmanship on these frames is fantastic. And an excellent build :) 👍

Cheers Tom
Same frame I nearly got of you last year
Was meant to be 😉

I ride an All City Mr Pink, weighty but oh so smooth, love steel road bikes, don't see the need for carbon, unless racing is on ones radar.
Shame CK stopped production of these, absolutely stunning framesets.

Forgot to ask, how are the trp calipers?, currently have Tektro, was thinking of upgrading to either trp or velo orange.

Yes I’m a fan of steel bikes myself
I have been looking for one of these for a while
The Cielo will definitely be a keeper after fist ride today

The trp brakes are really good I wasn’t expecting them to be this good to be honest ,as good as my Campagnolo brakes . Powerful but great feel

And cheaper than the velo orange, cheers for the feedback, on the list they go.

Indeed, glad you like it. Personally I think it’s the best colour and one of the nicest steel frames I’ve seen in a long time. Enjoy! T
