    I was going to enter the competition but it wouldn't have been fair as Hopper had already told me what it was :D

    You're too honest, Markos. :wink:

    Having looked at the internal cable entry/exit points, it could take about 6 weeks to complete! :shock: :evil: :wink:

    I had that problem with my base bars - hideous. Our local bike mech recommends leaving...

    No wait, that's for replacing internal cables - no idea how you get them in first time round...!

  • If you add up all the time you'll spend trying to get the internal cable routing sorted out and then think how much training you could have done instead which would knock more time off your TT/Tri times? :wink:

    Started the build...

    I've had the cables in already, and taken them out again... Piece of cake (kiss of death!).
    I threaded Dura Ace rear brake cable, then realised that the Profile brakes appear to use MTB cables!

    Spec's to follow.
    The saddle is supposed to be a tad nose down.

    Looks very nice - I've still to tweak my position - but I think I'me going to put my saddle a touch nose down too!

    Still - mine looks quick when I'm on it...

    I hope you had a good one.
