and this one is now finished the build. Used some spare Easton EC90's, a full super record groupset and a Deda Quatro and FSA/Willier branded stem and bar combo.

always wanted one of these frames and was lucky enough to pick up the frame and forks new for £1001

I love the look

and yes it is white bar tape, but it will be going to the gulf states later this week, so white is an advantage

    The bike looks really nice, really well coordinated and not over-done. Wow, you have long legs and a short body. Your saddle height is massive but you've got the saddle jammed fwd and a micro stem.

    One funny thing about the picture is it looks like you have a piece of grey gaffer/duct tape across the front of the head tube.

    The white looks great in the sun. Enjoy it and ride it in good health.

    LiberataERedenta: it rides well - still some seat and stem(longer) adjustments to be made, but very impressed by the handling for an aero frame, and the Eastons

    FransJacques:
    The 'grey gaffer tape' you refer to is infact the shadow of the drops - caused by an uncommon phenomenon in the UK this summer aka 'sunshine'
    :D

    some black humour from Cornish J? - there could hardly be a better groupset - its a stunning bike, and interesting to hear the comparisons with the cento.

    Not seen a white one before - looks a totally different machine to the more normal black versions, but the wheels suit it to a 'T'
  • Do they still make this bike - this looks new, but I thought it had been replaced, dont know what with.

    very nice bike by the way - lovely spec, not too bling, and full of italian style - classy
