Wow! I like that an awful lot. It looks seriously fast. The colour scheme works well; flash but not lairy.

Nice job.

Go to the top of the class. 8) Thats a beaut mate, cant fault it save for the levers which I would have a bit higher, health to enjoy.

seanoconn

I'm more than slighly attracted to your bike, I'd like to RIDE it.

Hope its a she!

Will be raising the shifters a little, to make them level.
A few things may change, yet, depending on the first ride...
Not happy with the stem! Wanted the ARX Ltd, but they only go up to 120mm and I needed a 130/140mm...

EKIMIKE

Very very nice. Personally not digging the red ano brakes and QR's but otherwise pretty damn sweet. Must be a pleasure to ride.

mallorcajeff

Now that I like, very clean. Love how the brake blocks look like a spanish flag.

Thats a long stem your after you must have ape arms! Great bike will climb ace if its like my mates one.

1/ The chain seems a little short.
2/ 21 tyres might be okay for riding on Swiss roads.
3/ Your levers are too low.

Very nice! A question on TT setup: I assume you use aero bars when you do a TT - does the cockpit cabling get in the way while in full tuck?

A certain Mr vroomen just linked to this via his Twitter. Got his stamp of approval.

Great Build, loving the zero gravity brakes, look awesome
overall great build, looks fast
stem does look 120mm though, pretty aggressive position you've got there, love it

amaferanga

That's a lovely bike, but I'm not a fan of the cable routing above the stem - it just looks wrong to me.

Still if you were to offer me a swap for any of my bikes I'd have it

I doubt it would... Don't think I get my face that low!
But, for TT's I'm also building a P3

At 6.53 kg it's not legal for road racing? So are you just hoping you won't get scrutineered or do you put weights on it?

Only just got it out of the box, Jim!
I doubt that at my level, I would bother with weighting the frame...
It's a bit like TTing... There are a lot of laws under UCI regs that are flaunted because of racing under CTT...

No, CTT have different rules, they're not ignoring rules, they just have different ones. British Cycling road racing specifically has the weight law in it for all BC racing, so you would be cheating

hopper1

Ok!, ok!... I'll get some fishing weights...























But, I'm not fessin' up to the EPO, though

when did British Cycling start enforcing the UCI weight limit at club events..??

Hopper1,

Hi. Love the bike. Seems you've built one just like I'm about to build!!

Did you have any issues with the rear brake caliper, like the threaded bolt and nut won't reach each other?

Regards,

Steelride.

Nope, all bolted together without a glitch.
Even routing the cables was a doddle.

Enjoy... Mine is a flying machine!
