What new components did you put on your bike in April? Pics?

Sleeping_menace

Lets see pics of everyone's bike with new components purchased in April. No pics of components in the packaging please, that's really boring.
As it happens, I had a good month in April, and managed to get the bike nearly complete.


1st: kitted out the stem and aerobars with all titanium hardware:


2nd: Swapped out the Ultegra cranks for some new Rotor 3d cranks and rings:


3rd: Finished the drivetrain completely, including tuning the rear mech and the above mentioned crank swap:


4th: Put on a new rear disc wheel,
And now, the bike is about done. May tinker with little bits and pieces here or there, but the major components I'm very happy with the feel of.
Here's the bike, finally pretty much complete..at least for now.: It feels silly fast to ride, ..am going to need to improve as a rider to keep up.

Some nice additions you've made there...
I must get my camera out and refresh my bike photos on here.

I'd recommend position '4' for TTing on the Rotor Rings. Nice kit you've got there. I have the same cranks/rings and similar bars.

Don't the cables feed inside the extentions on your bars?

Thanks for the comments..

I did try position four initially, but I really felt as if I could keep the power on longer in position 3 after the few rides on it. I may go back and forth as I acclimate to the rings, but for now, 3 seems to work better for my riding position.

Yes, the cables do feed inside, but doing so means I have ugly bends to get the cables into the holes in the top of the frame for internal cable routing. Doing that meant I had kind of ugly loops there so as to be able to keep some steering. Doing it this way actually seemed to have less frontal than running them inside and leaving loops. I will take a front on pic, and you'll see what I mean.

No - I get it. I have similar bars, but my extentions sit on top of the basebar (Aura model) - so the cable feed into the frame is easier.
