Yay for the etap, I've heard it's pretty great!
I'm still on for the right shifter if you have a buyer for the left.

no problem!

@onyerbike did you get a chance to take a look?

@mrJL I'm still looking for a right hand shifter, if anyone still needs the left that would be perfect.

@andyfallsoff Thanks, but I'd prefer to keep it all ultregra. good luck shifting :)

I have a broken right hand shifter!
We could split if we can find a pair?

I just broke my right one!
If you get word on a cheap pair I'd think about splitting it with you, depending on price.

I'll post an update soon. Some pics if I can get the bike cleaned up!

Did this sell? If not I'd love it.

pm'd, will take the XLC levers as well.

I'll take the charge spoon if it's still available?

Hey, is the Charge Spoon still available?
If it's a brown one, an image would be great!

I can put these to use! Sending you a pm.

Dibs the 105 cranks please. Pm'd

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions guys.

The 3t stem looks really nice! I've got a deda Zero100 that I was planning on using, possibly rubbing the decals down to black, but maybe I'll pick up one of these.

@ChrisMGS, your bike is gorgeous!

@sensom I'm going to use one of the Praxis conversion BB's, I've heard nothing but good things about them. Sounds like our bikes will end up with a similar style! How did you get your shimano cranks on?

@JamesNoQ - thanks. I'm mainly looking for ideas at this stage. I already have 99% of the build ready to go, I just feel like I'm missing some finishing touches.

@Howard - those are nice wheels but, and I never thought I'd say this, too much red!

Should be building over the next 48 hours :)

Okay, fine :p The chain was too much, but I need to get some red on here somehow :) I still like the jockey wheels, but I'm open to inspiration...

Glad we're in agreement ;) Shimano chain it is.

I do quite like these though.

I'm going to throw a 6800 groupset on here. Stealth black frame, grey groupset and cables...
Considering using a black/red kmc chain, it's a bit pricey if I end up not liking the look. Should I do it?

Thanks @D_Mars, I love the look of the Archetypes and almost went for them, but was dissuaded. I learned that the brake surface coating starts to wear through quite quickly, leaving a rim that looks pretty much like any other. This bike is going to see a lot of use in all conditions, and I'm not disciplined enough to wipe down the rims and sand down the brake pads after every ride.

I decided to swap a little aesthetics for more stiffness and a tiny bit more aero in my rim choice.
Here's a sneak peek of the amazing Dave Elsey building them up... (sorry for the crap quality picture!)

Picked this bike up for a bargain price a few weeks ago.
It's a 105 groupset, which isn't awful, but the FSA chainset is a compact, and weighs a ton.
The Bianchi wheels are all really flexy, and utterly garish on such an understated frame.
The saddle is a Gobi... it's nice, but for a road bike?

Lots of work to be done here.

Also, what's the spoke count?
