Just realised I cannot pm you so feel free to respond here!

If you are in Nicosia I can arrange an evening ride along the green line with beers @ Brewfellas (craft beer garden) after the ride. I will pm you my email in case you want to get in touch directly.

In terms of bike shops I can only help with Nicosia. See below including telephone numbers. I would call them before to make sure they have what you need (teeth count/ bcd etc).

The Frank Schleck SL2 looks to be in vgc, almost unused

Was he suspended during this period ?? :-)

Then it is literaly a bike on steroids !

V Nice ! This bike deserves a proper treatment ! GLWS !

9sp record/chorus. Give me a shout if interested.

Fair play!!! Enjoy!!!

easy !!! thats a fourth :-)

3rd?

Ah too slow !!!

I want these if Vince decides not to buy.

Still heavy though. Sell your cosmic and buy some corima.

Yes, they are heavy as they are essentially aluminium wheels with carbon aero sections !

@110kg they suit me well.

Looks great but you need to sort the tape on the left side - that untrimmed end!

Cheers ! WIll need to sort that out together with the cables !

Nice one!!
I'd suggest the beyond black edition on seatpost/stem but is purely estetical...
As some said the full carbon wheels would be awesome ;)
Good job

The current Cosmic Carbone SLRs with the exalith coating look awsome. They have that all black look + the red and yellow decals would much nicely the frame !

Maybe upgrade again your wheelset for a full carbon tubular one

I am in if you are willing to finance the upgrade :)

Detailing around the rear drops as requested.
Unfortunately the paint chips quite easily on these as the whole bike is chromed before painted.

Not normally a fan of the modern "logos with everything" look, but they all come together nicely here.

Your cable outers could do with a trim: the front brake is doubling back on itself and the rear is nearly entering the stop at a right angle.

I can't really see what you've done with the gear cables (they look to be sticking out the front), but they should be symmetrical: running them into the opposite stops (ie rear derailleur into left hand stop) and crossing the inners under the down tube usually gives a nice, neat run.

Thanks for the feedback !

I was thinking of destickering the Mavics but I was not brave enough to do it ! I think they look okay though!

Wanted to get the Zipp parts in beyond black colour (which basically black with black logos) but I was able to find much better prices on the black with white logo parts (I guess the black on back are more desirable these days).

In terms of cables I kept them long while I was playing around with different stem/drops/shifters combinations. I was worried not to cut them too short and then have to get new ones!

I do need to get them done properly now. I will probably use a picture from the internet to "copy" the correct routing from! I do get very frustrated with the inner cables when reinstalling, as the ends split and they wont go back into the outers.

Thanks all for comments and feedback!

From looking at the picture I see what you are saying regarding the Zipp/4Za finishing kit though in real life they look better!

I am quite heavy (110kg) so I do enjoy the confidence the Zipp parts give me. With non oversized finishing kit I did get a lot of flex!

And the list of upgrades:

1st - Columbus Minimal Fork and Chris King Headset
2nd - Upgraded the Campagnolo 9 speed groupset to Campag 10 (Record/ Chorus)
3rd - Upgraded the finishing kit to Zipp Course SL (stem/ seatpost) and 4ZA Cirrus Pro Carbon Drops
4th - Upgraded the wheels to Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLRs

Pending:
I have a Record 10sp front derailleur on the way.

I use this as my main road bike.
Its a 61cm frame and the total build weights 8.1kg excluding pedals.

I bough the Fondriest from the forum a few months ago and have been working on it since.

I have been sharing my progress under the following thread:

now that it is almost done I wanted to share what I did with it so far together with some pictures under current projects. (pics and upgrades list to follow)

Nice frame thanks for sharing. Tthis phrase made my day:

The frameset has been well used and there are plenty of paint chips which give the frame and forks character - there is no damage to the frame or forks. The chrome is in very good condition. The lug work is incredible and when shared with Steven Shand of Shand Cycles, he was very appreciative of the lug work. Even Chris Hoy admired the frameset when he saw it.

very nice but you will need a tall girlfriend for this one!
I have a sweet tooth for mixtes.

What is the tubing on this one?

breso this is a fantastic build.

I am currently doing something similar with a Fondriest X-Status. (modern group/ wheels/ finishing kit)

I also went with Zipp Course SL (Stem and Seatpost) with 4Za Cirrus Pro Compact drops (quite hi tech looking for some).

My vote is for carbon cages.

Happy riding in 2014 to all !
