Collected my nice box from the Concept store in Stafford this morning:

Hellooo:
b9b1b0e2-dae0-4d48-b755-da82014f91dc.jpg

Spec will be pretty much as my SL4 (I may even put DA 9000 on my SL4 and steal the Di2 for this?):
Dura Ace 9000/9070 Di2 groupset,
Romin Pro saddle,
S Works SL 120mm stem,
Zipp 404 laced onto Chris King hubs,
Zipp SLC2 V2 bars.

I cannot wait to get it built and out for its first ride.

    I can't look. CAN'T LOOK, MUST NOT LOOK!

    I've got to wait until it's finished now :(

    Also, I would put the 9000 on the Tarmac and Di2 on this as the Tarmac is the climbing bike :)

    I have no idea what's going on here.

    Why have you lent it against a bloke in a Sumo costume?

    Looks nice, Rick... gotta be Di2 build.
    Hurry up with the spannering, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished machine ;)

    Cheers. It might take a while until its 100% finished.

    I am very tempted by the nicking the Di2 off my Tarmac as it will save me a fortune. Then again I am not sure I want another bike on mechanical :shock:

    £2400 is nothing for that frame!

    Very nice indeed!

    You're now going to be under pressure to ride as quick as Cavendish whenever you're out on it now. That's the problem. But I'm guessing you already have the ability to match. :D

    By the look of it I bet the stiffness of that BB will match that which you had in your underpants when you opened the box.

    Tres bon.
