it comes with some plastic spacer holder type things, I'm pretty sure they go over the outside of the bars. Hopefully they're not trying to wedge the whole thing into the bar end!

that was one of my thoughts, rear brake cable stops the complete removal but it allows easy detachment for travel.

I have a 675, so similar plugs on the frame , was hoping to bodge one of the stoppers to feed both di2 and brake through it but couldn't figure it out so the di2 runs into the downtube and the rear brake into the toptube

This is how I have my set-up running, but I have the bluetooth bit as a connector between the bars and rear components. I have some primavera bars and feed up the tube from the bar end.

The right side was a bit messier inside(carbon bags?) so I ended up using the easier access left side to feed the cables from the power plug connector

I got 2x superlight cages from BOTY store on aliexpress

They're really light, but the one mounted to the seat tube cracked around the base where it supports the bottle. The store is sending me another one but I think it's just too thin to support the weight, anyone else have this issue?

I'd say no, they should have a dark nipple-y tip. The underside should be dark too.

I maybe wrong but I always avoided this type while on the hunt.

interested in brake calipers, pm'd

Thanks @Parzival, received the part yesterday, looks brand new! much appreciated

I pm'd you, I'll take it

like most things i check the negative reviews first, sounds like they re-sent one that was handled 'brutally'

if only that kink was a space to fit the seat rails if it had a dropper and was slammed

I've got a rodent issue too, renting with a share of a garage, holes everywhere so no chance of stopping them, but for some reason they're just eating all the bike grips, kids bikes, grip shifts. Today I found they've left very little on my ultegra hoods. Need to find something they don't like that won't inadvertently harm the family.

The ones with the catch I saw look like this

Does yours have the front catch and/or does the bottle pop out? I'd ask for a link but they never seem to stay long

I quite fancy one of these, £30 is a bit steep for something that's not well made... There is one with a front catch that looks a bit better

I got a battery replacement (for Garmin watch) from aliexpress, looks legit but never got to use it as when I finally took it apart it turned out the connector contacts broke off the mainboard. I purchased when I could charge the Garmin but as soon as I disconnected the battery went, thought it was dead but wasn't! Did mention it to Garmin but they wanted almost full price to repair....

Thanks for that heads up, almost grabbed a pair then found rapha have PT ascent on discount too, £18 more but at least they'll fix them!

Overheating and other issues put me off as it's probably the most important thing on the bike

great shots, really nice clean looking bike

I wonder if they were an exclusive run or they just wanted to sell the spare team kit ;)

I liked the matching arm warmers they had at Paris-Roubaix, gotta draw a line with the FKW somewhere though

SOLD

Did I mention this was rare? 1 of only 50 made in the universe? This collectors piece will surely continue to rise in value.

I'll start around the £400 mark but will sell to whoever offers the most. I have it listed on eBay for £350 and elsewhere too.

It may have cost 89 euros to buy direct, but having missed that once in a lifetime opportunity this could be your last chance to own a piece of history.

P&P was 10 euros at the time of buying but I skipped this by sending my domestique to collect. I'll obviously mark up the P&P if you want it delivered

You can collect directly from my Château in Provence or later in the year at my Chalet in Chamonix, my staff will serve you at my door.

Am I doing this right?

the frame colours are actually coloured electrical tape, I love the mondrian colours so tried my best to liven it up, the original looked too plain

https://www.lookcycle.com/fr-en/products/apparel/jersey/look-1985-jersey

Label still attached, in plastic bag. It also came with a fancy black envelope which just contained badly photocopied returns instructions (also included in sale)

Made in Italy by Marcello Bergamo, fits more like an Small, I managed to order Large & Medium and the Large fits me like Rapha PT Medium

It's quite a thin jersey, the side panels are really see through thin

Limited run of 50

I'm located in France but can either ship at your cost, else i'll be in London after xmas / new year time

I love it, I'm not an expert bike reviewer, but it feels like it pulls away fast (is responsive) and is comfortable on long rides. I find I'm not as confident descending on it but think that maybe due to the wheels, I have a Canyon AL with Ksyrium wheels and I feel way more confident leaning right into corners with it.

The marmite looks do allow you to lie across the top tube when descending but I don't really feel the need (have the balls) to do this.

Got the jersey today, is there a level above FKW? Italian fit so large is like medium.

Really like the shape of the 675, was after a 695/795 but found this at the right price. Wheels, saddle and brakes purchased from here.

I always hoped it might have been made in France or even Tunisia. I got knocked off last week and stripped it down to inspect for damage and found a Chinese inspection sticker inside the frame.
