    Nice and shiny!
    How does it ride, how much does it weigh? etc

    Lovely bike. I have a set of the white RS30's too. Great hubs, really good rollers if a little on the heavy side.

    One of the nicest Kuota bikes I have seen. Enjoy..

    These are very handsome bikes! They feature very long spans of carbon so don't appear very compliant.

    Your chain is a tad short. Looks like you have a 26 tooth large cog, if you upsize to a 27 or 28 it'll be frictionous. Not a biggie if you're not racing.

    Those 'bars are sexy. The cost of them really outstrips your wheelset so from a price perspective the bike's a little lop-sided. Do you have other wheels?

    Painted rims have never been a fave of mine (see Dennis' yellow rims on the GIOS). Focus have custom white-painted Lightweights that would look killer on this! http://www.slowtwitch.com/articles/imag ... ight10.jpg Imagine those rollin under you?
    When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.

    Looks great although as said above the wheels do let it down rather a lot. A set of these would look amazing on it!

    I have no idea what's going on here.

    Hi thanks for all comments , I have been after one for a while.....I bought it second hand and emptied my account lol for the spare money I had I went for these although I agree to fit in with the spec and look an upgrade will be on the cards soon....it rides like a dream well for me at least.

    Gorgeous looking bike. White paint-jobs always make frames with interesting shapes look great.

    As long as you peel the graphics off as they look like the sort of thing you would see on a golf bag...

    Too much white and it will look a bit boyzone c1998 in my opinion :mrgreen:
  • Love it! White bikes look awesome (when theyre clean!!)

    ACs are great wheels, had a set on my Wilier for about a year and they are light, strong and roll fast....the graphics split opinion, but I actually like them...

    Needs a white seatpost though...... :!:

    Lol to be honest I was thinking of having a completely different colour tyre like a green Schwalbe ultremo ?
