    Nice. It'll look great if you go with Enves.

    Hows the EPS?

    Very nice indeed.

    How do you find the Barfly mount?

    Happy enough with the Barfly mount. Does the job and having it in front of the stem is a big improvement. However, am now intrigued by the 3T stem with the built-in mount.

    So far so good, but only been ridden back from the shop. Hoping to head out tomorrow morning (if the rain holds off) to give it a good testing. It is a joy to use though, and shifts beautifully.

    Thinking the smart system 6.7 clinchers with Chris King R45 hubs...

    Diggin' the EPS. +1 on a ride report for that.

    Not diggin' anything else really. Especially the red tires. Ironically, it just looks bit cheap and heavy to me. Well, it definitely is heavy, that's for sure. Definitely not cheap.

    That said, weight isn't everything (but you'd expect a lot lighter for the money).

    For me, if you're going to have that paint job, you've got to go all out 'stealth bike' and ditch the wheel decals (if they're not under the clear) and red tyres. And anything else red where possible.

    Changed my mind on waiting for the wheels. These arrived this morning and will be fitted this evening!

    Think the wheels would look better without the graphics as you've gone for the murdered out look just about everywhere else

    Very nice IP 8) I do like those wavy Pinarello frames.

    Club mate was on the same frame at a race on Sunday, he seemed to be doing alright. No EPS though, I think that is where your bike comes into its own!

    Fook, I wouldn't want to race on one, a tad expensive to replace!

    I did think that, particularly when I got taken out and a big pile up ensued behind me. Don't think anyone got too damaged but it does make you wonder about some of the bikes people race on...
