    That's lovely - be sure to put up some pics once it's complete
    Would be interested in how you feel it compares to your previous tarmac (I have an SL3 S Works)

    (BTW I purchased your roval SL45 wheels from you about a year ago)

    Don't be silly, a bike like that isn't for riding :wink: .

    The alloy braking track ruins deep section wheels.

    Oh and none matching bottle cages. Come on man! Sort it out!

    A rather nice looking bike!

    I assume it's as fast as it looks?

    It feels fast but it might be the placebo effect!

    Looking good there sir - Despite going for the black tape and saddle, I've gone for the Spesh white shoes.

    Out of interest how are the BG74's?

    I like them I have a couple of pairs of the White and black ones just liked the retro look of them and the kangeroo leather is alot lot softer than the regular S-Works ones.

    I need the 's works' sticker for a 56cm frame (same as yours) and just need to confirm the exact size if possible please?
  • Received this Garmin mount this week and I have to say it is good, a little vibration on certain surfaces but to be fair Im not constantly looking at it just glancing and the angle it puts the data at is perfect

    Looking good sir (then again, I'm biased).

    I've added some KCNC skewers and name tags to mine - photos to follow - but love riding it. Improved best time on several Strava sections and still don't feel my form has recovered from month off.
