    Nice.
    Black tape would look better imo.
    How much does it weigh ?

    black tape would look better just put the bh tape back on for speed , its too bulky as i like thin fizik micro so it will be coming of this weekend.

    weighs in at 6.54kg without pedals - i have light weight alloy cassette on which drops 100-200g and that saddle helps at 115g so not that hard to do with such a light frame.

    they do a ultralight which is 725g for the frame which can make a very light bike . not sure about 4kg that is super light . to be honest my bike is light enough any lighter and i think it would blow all over the road. it is stiff though and the back end is totally solid when you stand up due to that massive bb.

    I remember seeing somewhere that it was ever ever so sightly under 5kg but yeah 4kg is unrealistic! sorry i should have been more clear :/ yeah yours does look good :) i love big BBs like some cervelos have

    That looks stunning! I think that is one of the best looking frame sets I have ever seen!

    Thanks mate and its one of those bikes that you punch the pedals and it leaps forwards , i think thats partly due to the back wheel been tucked under the seat post. never had so much fun. rode my wilier gt couple of days ago and it felt flat ,before i got this i thought that was near prefect for me ! nearest other bike i had that felt near to this good was my trigon rqc29 but still this is better in every way. check out the new BH g6 for 2013 - my wallets twitching again !

    I have to agree with most people here - that is a lovely looking piece of kit. Love the chainset and BB junction, chunky and purposeful
    Current bike: 2014 Kinesis Racelight T2 - built by my good self!

    Some updated photos with black bar tape now IMAG0197.jpg
    IMAG0198.jpg

    IMAG0199.jpg
    shows carbon front mount ,doesnt look great on photo but has that rough surface like handle bar mounts to stop the mech from moving

    photos show that surface finish is second to none (apart from the gel and drink marks !),much better than my wilier gt which on examination is pitted and not greatly finished.

    Beautiful looking bike - are you sure you ride it on the weekend? You fibbing? Looks in brilliant condition, do marks show easy on the paintwork?

    Actually was quite suprised but it doesnt mark at all which was a worry on matt finish ,i have use jag wire rubber cable covers at the headtube which seems to have saved any cable rub.

    to be honest the weathers been kind up in chester in the evenings so i have been using it all week but i have only done about 500miles on it as i was on hols for 2 weeks. i do clean after every ride though and it hasnt dropped a chain yet. Got to say internal cables look great and are the lastest trend but this has external and everything works so much better with campy.
