Focus Cayo rebuild

Been rebuilding my Cayo for a Majorca trip and for the summer ahead. Everything except the frame/fork and handlebars has been replaced; Shimano 105 for SRAM Force, FSA Gossamer for SL-K chainset, DT swiss for Grammo Viper 50mm carbon clinchers. Knocked a good kilo off the overall weight.

From this:

Strangely, those SLK rings look old-fashioned

In what way?

It's because they're silver in this day and age of identikit matt 'stealth fighter' black and grey. I think it looks great.

Good job, the bike looks 10x better. Like the chainset.

Well you may have kept the original fork, but that is definitely not the same frame in both pics. Not unless you are a backyard specialist is adding in head tube length to a carbon fibre frame.

So, the rebuild included everything bar fork and handlebars perhaps?

Ok, the original picture isn't actually mine, I didn't have one so nabbed one from google! Caught red handed!

Good work...

The original FSA Gossamer chain rings are in the shape of a petal, whereas the new, silver SLK look less sculpted, more forged and a little like original Campag ones. All IMHO, off course.

They are very shiney 8)

I do like Cayos
