hope you found them!

+1, I did this and ended up finding an appointment 100m from my house, vs 5 miles away!

whoops - double post.

Yeah tbh I don't really know about Armstrong, I think he's a bit of an outlier fit-wise. Andy Schleck for example is 6ft 1 and rode a 58 with a negative-rise stem. Contador rode a 56, and he's around the same height as me I think

@AeroZi11 thanks! I'm 5' 10 and the 56 fits me great, although with the h1 geometry it's a pretty aggressive fit (the head tube is only 140mm, and I'm running a 15mm headset cover). If you like it low and long it's great, otherwise you might want to go for the h2 geometry version which has a taller head tube, they're a lot more common on the used market as well.

About 7.2kg according to my bathroom scales, although I can’t vouch for their accuracy. Feels crazy light to me anyway!

oof that's nice!

I'm still really enjoying it! Not a lot has changed since I last posted, I got some Aerolink calipers to match the rest of the group (it had the older Red calipers on before). Will take some proper photos at some point!

Hey, sold I’m afraid

Cheers!

Interesting - on the claimed accuracy of the antibody tests that have been approved by PHE

https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-phe-laboratory-evaluations-of-roche-and-abbott-antibody-tests/

was wondering who would be the first to bring that up 😅

Oh nice, what did you get? Stem is 110mm

Small update: got hold of some Bontrager bars, white saddle + bar tape, I think it looks way better like this. This thing flies!

it's a 56

Lance? pah #teamcontador

finally found a GXP chainset (it's a red 22 but seems to work fine with 10 speed everything else) and finished it off. Immediate thoughts: it's sooo fast and agile and accelerates like a rocket but is actually really comfortable too. Wanna get some Bontrager bars at some point to match the stem (it has some cheap FSA ones on there at the moment) but otherwise very happy!

Things are taking shape now. Picked up some old low-profile Roval wheels for pretty cheap, they're about ~1500g! Saddle and bars I already had lying about. Just thrown some old tyres for now on but got some used Vittoria Corsas on the way too..

First bits arrived today

Either 1st gen or 2nd gen fine, also would consider cranks without rings. Cheers!

that's nice!

I don't have any accurate scales to hand but going off what I've seen online:
frame: 840g
fork: 350g
total: 1190g

Seatmast cap is another 150g

Frame was £400, hoping to keep the total cost below £800. I've got some bits lying around - saddles, stems, bars that I can use for now

Ever since my Cinelli got stolen I’ve been on the lookout for a fast road frame for not too much £££, so when this popped up recently I had to grab it - Madone 6.9 SSL in H1 geometry. The plan is to build up with 10 speed SRAM Red and find some cheapish used lightweight alu wheels, hopefully get down to <7kg without breaking the bank..
