Like that a lot

Think I saw that bike on sale at Wiggle but don't think their offer had such a fine wheelset or Ultegra calipers.

It is truly lovely and one of the few that I even consider swapping my precious for (Focus Di2).

Many thanks for the comments

Yes, it was from Wiggle. I already had the wheels so put them on, and keeping the supplied RS30's for winter.

I was actually all set to buy a Focus Cayo Evo 3 (or possibly 2), had a bike fit etc, but after I had dithered around for so long I couldn't get one in my size!

Looks great, fancy one myself. Are all the cables internal?
Thanks

maxh5100

Yes internal. It arrived with cable guides for a mechanical group on the down tube and chain stay.
As I don't need them and they were removable I took them off.

Looks good that! Get that warning sticker off the wheels....

maxh5100

Thanks, a very good point! Had forgotten all about that.

8kg seriously? That's quite high zoot kit you have. Love the slammage, cut the steerer and see what that yields you...

Colour-wise the b-o-w looks really well done, even the pedals compliment perfectly. Bravo. Sadly there was a poor guy couple months back with a steel Condor who wasn't so successful at black on white execution.

loving that frameset big time.

Thanks!
Yes it's about 8Kg, but that's a bit of a finger in the air figure. Not weighed it accurately, it's not a real featherweight and the DI2 adds a bit.
I have to admit it's been more luck than judgement on the colour scheme. Pedals from my old white bike, and luckily they match. The 3T stuff matches nicely IMO.
