    The SQLAB bars are the best bars ive ridden so far.. not super weightweenie (240g at 380mm like mine) but you can get them in sale for 180-200

    Plus theres an internal version now, too

    R312 is the model

    No attention to detail, well thats hitting my guts 😮‍💨

    Re the saddle: the choice is on purpose because it is the only saddle I know hiding its rails and therefore perfectly meets the bold theme of the oversized tubes, wheelset and aero crank. All other carbon saddles would have looked to fragile and would therefore have missed the theme

    And just out of curiosity: Whats so bad about velobike? (Except prices but ofc neither the ring nor the bars were bought rrp)

    Many thanks guys! Pretty proud of how a mediocre low budget rim brake bike can turn our if you put some thought into it

    @hugo7 I used Ultegra R8000s and to be honest I cannot sense a decrease in performance. Have to add I am 77kg and ride mostly flat tho. Adjustments of the calipers go without tools so thats a super cool feature (lots of fakes around tho, be careful)

    @elswick @MrBaklava Rear is 28mm on a 17mm internal rim. Limiting factor is def. The chain stays. Brake bridge and fork would easily take more than 30s

    Unfortunately I dont own modern rims to properly test it

    Re how i achieved 6.6 check my projects thread for the parts list (or check @caadastrophe on insta as its in the caption of the post)
