Them brakes do look mad but they also weigh 215 grams and feel every bit as stiff and powerful as more conventional brakes.

Nice, but I think it would look better with black cables.

You're never happy are you? :P

Very cool What's the total build cost if you don't mind me asking?

It's a mix of new and lightly used parts, total cost with lots of bargain hunting comes to a few quid under £1750.

After a quick ride I have made a couple of changes. The Pro-lite forks are not as stiff as I would like so I have swapped them over to a pair of Controltech Lightening forks, fractionally lighter but much stiffer. Also the 90cm stem was too short so I have fitted a 110cm Pro Vibe carbon stem which seems to match the overall look of the bike and puts me in the right position and again it adds a bit of stiffness. After a quick blast up the street the bike feels very comfortable and fast, if the weather holds I will take it on a proper run later on but first impressions are good.

Looks nice still, what's happening with the 90mm stem?

I think you were about to make me an obscene offer for it !!!!!

Nairnster

Lol, I have no idea what the second hand value would be. I think I might need a shorter stem, but not sure whether to buy a new or used one.

Probably best to buy a cheap one to get the position right, can't go wrong with something like this. http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/STS ... inium_stem

Wow thanks for the link, didn't know you get them that cheap.

P. S. When are you fitting black cables?

I actually really like the white cables. In the flesh they don't look as bright, I think the flash made them look a bit bright. Gonna leave this bike well alone and concentrate on sorting my Ti Cube out when it comes back.

Another superb effort and lovely looking bike! I always enjoy Pasteys' 'Your Road Bikes' threads. You have a real knack for putting together bikes that just look 'right'. Thanks for sharing this.

PS - I'd love to see some photos of your workbench and parts bins.

I was getting ready not to like this bike as soon as I saw 'Pro Lite' in the thread title. I thought it'd be covered in huge 'offensive' logos and was right, but I like the look. How much you selling it for?

I'm not selling it, I like how it feels.

Fine I'll buy my own

The white band around the seatstay wishbone keeps doing a visual trick on me, I keep thinking it's a brake bridhe race number.

I would love to see my work bench too but it's buried under a ton of rubbish, and my parts bin consists of lots of blue Ikea bags stuffed with bits
Here is one such bag to give you an idea

Come on sell it me, I really like the look of it

Swap you for my Caad9 Tiagra

Just about to tell you when I realised it's a Medium :-(

Next bike I buy is gonna look like that...

Got a lovely Ti post delivered today and I have just put a set of oval Doval chainrings (52/35) on the cranks I purchased as part of the frame package, love the look of the Ti post and want to fit it to a bike but wonder if it would look out of place on the Pro-lite. May also fit the Pro-lite cranks as they will suit the bike and I can put the Rotor chainset on my Cube, I also like the Doval rings, I used them last summer and found they worked for me, although the Pro-lite arms are lighter than the Rotor's the Doval rings are heavier so I will gain 50 grams !!!!!!! :shock:

The perfect response! Lol!

ps - If you ever have a yard sale I want an invite. I now live abroad but I reckon it would be worth the trip!
