Every thing is matching. :)

DA 53-42(Best combination for rolling terrain and for the place where I ride)

Ultegra RD for durability. Currently I am running my racing 11-21 DA cassette and chain. Will switch to 11-23 while training.

Using FSA 130mm -17degree at the moment. Might move to 120mm stem(White colour) with -7degree after some time but I do like the aggressive fit of the bike.


I am 6'1 and I lost nearly 7.5kg to ride this beauty :D Now I just weigh at 67.5 with cloths on my body. :D

    With cloths on your body? Sheesh man, that's gonna get cold in the winter? And what happens if you don't attach the cloths properly and you willy gets cold?

    Is it just the piccie or is a huuuuuuuge rear mech cable loop?

    No winters me as it hardly gets cold where I ride. :)

    It's probably with the pic. The cable loop looks fine to me.

    It's also completely flat where you ride? 11-21? Mega :).

    Mind you I did a sportive recently with lots of very steep hills with a guy running 39/23 as bottom gear and he beat me up every hill I'm running 34/30.

    Not exactly flat as I gain 500 to 600 for a 100k rides. I do have some steep climbs around but I hardly do them. Will also get a 11-25 or 11-28 for climbing.

    Lovely bike... The Ride On sticker on the front of the headtube makes me sad though.

    Rd cable loop is not a issue. Will cut it even more.

    Yes I have long legs(37.5) so my seat height is also high. Well I will also be getting my bike fit done soon.

    Will remove the sticker.

    Nah: 11 - 21 is fine: its what I use. If you find it hard going pedal harder.
