Nice! Are you using a Marchisio cassette or something similar? I didn't think that Shimano offered a Campagnolo free hub option anymore.0

Hi there, I'm using an Ambrosio cassette0

Smart. Planet X's look the dog's nadgers. I love mine, just wish I had more chance to ride it but the ball and chain....
Maybe Oscar is a frustrated Planet X owner
It's sad how Wile E. Coyote is remembered for his violence, and not for his brilliantly realistic paintings of tunnels.0 -
Thats a cracking looking bike, love the minimalist look!
Whats the spec on your chainset/cassette?My Ti

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. Pedals which I'm using are look Keo classics. And chain set is a compact carbon chorus with a 12-25 ambrossio cassette.
Thanks0 -
Yeah, as the other members have said...........'sweet'!
I'm biased of course as I have the same frame (albeit with the older font frame graphics)! What size is it......a 'large'?
My own (sized medium) has a mix of ultegra,dura ace and sram red (heinz 57 I know but it works well enough) and weighs in at 7.2kg's.
Apart from your bar taping
it looks really well. 0 -
Haha the tape is awful, will try and redo it in the future.0
-
That's a lovely looking bike. What size frame is it if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking of the same frame myself.0
-
looks good!0
-
I'm not normally a fan of these - I think they can look a bit weird - but that's really tasty - very nice.
Black saddle and bar tape maybe?0 -
Hi guys, frame is an XL (58cm I think). Did consider black tape and saddle but fancied adding a bit of colour and have always liked white tape. Took it out for a ride yesterday as it is was nice and dry and couldn't fault it! Rides amazing need to make a few little adjustments but would definitely recommend one to anyone!0

Damn you!
i think you bought the last Ambrosio Shimano splined/Campag spaced cassette in the country....cant find a 12-28 anywhere!!
Nice looking bike by the way..... 0 -
Really really like this bike.
Love the little flashes of red which ties in with the rs80's.
Have you considered black tape and saddle?0 -
I think I got my cassette from uk bike store, you could try them? Had no faults at all with the shifting unlike some people have said.0
-
still good...
